Burghley Horse Trials
A very wet and rainy day in the beautiful Market town of Stamford in Lincolnshire.
It is the Burghley Horse Trials week held at Burghley House - Stamford
Horse trials have been held at Burghley House since 1961 when its owner the 6th Marquess of Exeter, an Olympic gold medalist in athletics and IOC member, heard that a three-day event at Harewood House could no longer be held. Since then no other international horse trials site has staged as many championships, a record ten in all including the first World Championship in 1966.
