A whirlwind weekend is coming to a close at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, and after an intense trot-up this morning, and 50 horses will proceed to the show jumping this morning.
The first group will jump first, placings 26-50, followed by the top 25 at 9:25 a.m. EST — we’ll post a new open thread for that group.
Good luck to all competitors this morning and stay tuned for an exciting finish to Burghley 2015!
