LAND ROVER BURGHLEY HORSE TRIAL

Thursday 1 – Sunday 4 September 2022
Burghley House, Stamford
www.burghley-horse.co.uk

In 1961, a planned three-day at Harewood, in Yorkshire, was unexpectedly cancelled due to an outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease. Hearing of it, the Marquess of Exeter, a keen equestrian, invited the British Horse Society to transfer the event, to his estate near Stamford. There were just 19 competitors, and 12,000 visitors – but Burghley Horse Trials was born. The five-star event now known as Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, has grown considerably since that first year, now attracting 80 of the world’s greatest riders, over 170,000 visitors and featuring more than 600 tradestands – all of it built in the space of four weeks in the historic grounds of Burghley House.
