It’s an action-packed week for international eventing as many of Europe’s best head straight from the Land Rover Burghley International Horse Trials in England to the 2015 FEI European Championships at Blair Castle in Scotland.

We’re lucky to have a cross country course preview from the designer himself, Ian Stark, whose audio commentary is available thanks to our friends at CrossCountry App in the embedded preview below and at this link on the website. Click the arrows in the top right corner to view in full screen mode and scroll through all the fences.

Many thanks to local rider Caroline Mosley of Orange Fox Eventing for recording the preview. Here’s a great blog post where you can learn more about Caroline, and you can also like her Facebook page here to follow along with her career.

It’s also a busy week for Samantha Clark as she takes a quick break from Burghley (and celebrates her birthday today!) before heading to Blair to bring us excellent coverage of the Euros right here on EN. Click here for a full list of all the teams competing via our good friends at Horse & Hound.
