Well, I hope you all had a more thrilling Friday night than I did. Mine was spent with a bowl of popcorn, a bottle of cheap wine, and Burghley TV and while I’m not complaining I’m sure my neighbors (and boyfriend) think I have officially become a recluse. That said, it’s been an exciting Burghley so far, as should be expected, and it did not come as a shock to see Jock and Promise atop the leaderboard once again. It is very exciting to see riders coming up to challenge the greats, and Jock has already proven multiple times that he deserves to be exactly where he is at the moment. As we all know, Burghley is not a dressage competition, so be on the lookout for plenty of leaderboard shakeups after cross country completes today. We will be bringing you updates as they come in, and in the meantime here are your Burghley links.

Amy Barrington continues to recover, but well wishes are encouraged and welcomed. You can send free Cheer Cards her way, and they will be printed out and hung on the wall in her hospital room.
