Will Coleman and Tight Lines will the pathfinders of the U.S.’s 12-strong contingent at the 2019 Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials. Photo by Shannon Brinkman Photography.
Sure, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover between now and Land Rover Burghley, taking place Sept. 5-8: the European Championships and the American Eventing Championships will be dueling headlines this upcoming week, and heck, between the finales of Great Meadow, Millstreet and Blair Castle today I’ll be breathing a sigh of relief if we make it to Monday morning. But ready or not, the Burghley drawn order has already posted which means it’s time to strap in.
A glance at the 80-strong entry list is enough to make your hair stand on end. It’s a who’s-who of British eventing, with some international guest appearances including the Price dream team, who look to be rolling up with their entire stable, as well the largest U.S. Burghley contingent in recent memory if not in history.
