Who Jumped it Best: Burgham’s Biggest Table

Truly one of the best things about eventing being back is that we can return to our very favourite game of all — the high-stakes, low-reward battle to produce the best form over a fence. As we recover from a hectic weekend at Burgham Horse Trials, the inaugural international of the 2020 season here in the UK, we’re digging out some real gems from the archives. What’s better than a WJIB? Multiple WJIBs from the same event. Don’t say we don’t spoil you, folks.

Our first Burgham battle takes us to fence eight on the CCI4*-S course, the Castle House Saddlery Table. Situated at the back of the main cross-country field, this single fence was approached on a left-handed 90-degree turn, after having cleared an airy timber oxer at seven. Two unfortunate tumbles here meant that the fence was removed for the second four-star section of the day, but we caught some super partnerships over it in Section L. Now, it’s up to you to decide who nailed it.
