The Land Rover Burghley Horse trials this year will take place 31st August – 3rd September 2017. With over 160,000 visitors over the four days, more than 600 carefully selected exhibitors, an average of 80 of the world’s top competitors and a prize fund of over £300,000, 21st century Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials is a far cry from the inaugural event, which took place more than 50 years ago with just 19 competitors and in front of a mere 12,000 people.
Eventing came to the magnificent Elizabethan parkland surrounding Burghley House in 1961 by accident rather than design, after the Marquess of Exeter, a keen equestrian, heard that the three-day event at Harewood was to be cancelled due to a suspected outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease. He invited the British Horse Society to transfer the event to his estate in a move which was to prove the start of a remarkable journey.
Today the event has become one of the most popular and highly regarded within the equestrian and social calendars and ranks within the UK’s top ten national sporting occasions by attendance. It has also been voted a firm favourite amongst riders from all over the world, securing the coveted L’Annee Hippique award an incredible seven times – a record within international eventing.
The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials is one of only six CCI 4* events worldwide, the star rating donating the highest standard of event (technically and administratively) and the most challenging test of horse and rider.
In addition to the trials, there is a full programme of displays and demonstrations, varied shops, stalls, food halls, craft pavilions and shopping emporium, a range of catering choices, children’s activities and even a dog display and face painting for the children.
Burghley has long been graced with Royal visitors and competitors. In 2011 HRH The Princess Royal presented the prizes, but in 1971 as the young Princess Anne, she also rode here and took the European Champion title. Captain Mark Phillips also has a longstanding association with the event, winning Burghley in 1973 and subsequently becoming its Course Designer. Their daughter Zara Phillips is the only child of two former winners to compete at the Event. 2017 will see HRH The Countess of Wessex visit Burghley on the Sunday of the Event to present the winner with the Land Rover Perpetual Challenge Trophy.
