Stamford, England—Sept. 3
Christopher Burton and Nobilis 18 were pure class at the end of a challenging cross-country day at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, finishing just 8 seconds over the optimum time of 11 minutes 11 seconds—and they now have two fences in hand to win tomorrow.
Burton had to wait until nearly the end of the day and admitted to nerves.
“Sitting watching in the riders’ tent didn’t help,” he confessed. “But I’m delighted now; the horse gave me a great feel.”
