As we count down the final days in 2016, EN is taking a look back at the most memorable performances of the year across all three phases. If you missed the top U.S. dressage combinations of the year, click here to check out Maggie Deatrick’s fantastic analysis.
When we look at the greater international picture, Chris Burton and Nobilis 18’s score of 30.2 in the horse’s CCI4* debut at Burghley not only gave them the best dressage performance at the four-star level for the year, but also smashed the previous Burghley dressage record.
Adding just 3.2 cross country time penalties to that score gave Chris and Nobilis 18, an 11-year-old Hanoverian gelding (Nobre xx X Lilli, by Lemon xx) he owns with Sue Lawson and Carolyn Townsend, enough breathing room to have four rails down in show jumping and still take the Burghley win on 49.4.
