Fast forward to today, Burghley Horse Trials is one of the most popular sporting events to attend and is a firm favourite amongst riders across the world.
This year, Burghley is taking place on the 31st August – 3rd September 2023, at their stunning location in Stamford. Burghley House, the historic Elizabethan mansion, provides a stunning backdrop for the event, adding to its unique atmosphere.
