SEIB Burghley Sponsored Ride Cancelled
It is with immense sadness that we announce the cancellation of Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials 2021 and SEIB Burghley Sponsored Ride which was due to be held later this year on 5th September. We have had so many excited enquiries hoping to come this year. We have passed on our deep regret, but total support, for the difficult decision Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials have had to make. We look forward to supporting their 60th anniversary with our ride on 4th September 2022 with a bumper ride for all to enjoy. Those riders that held over their entries from the cancelled 2020 ride will be contacted personally in the next few weeks.

ABOUT THE BURGHLEY SPONSORED RIDE
Riders are able to enjoy riding on a large section of the world’s toughest eventing cross country course and inspect the huge fences from horseback. The ever changing fences and course layout ensure every visit is truly different as the organisers ensure competitors face fresh challenges year on year. The famous feature fences such as Trout Hatchery, Cottesmore leap and the Rolex are real favourites for pictures and boring friends with tales of your Burghley adventure! SEIB Insurance Brokers, our wonderful sponsors will be back for a 6th year, and they cover our costs and provide completion momentos and prizes for highest sponsorship amounts raised. An extra bonus will be the SEIB Horseless Burghley Fun Run on foot for everyone to enjoy, please see the link at the top of this page for details. In 2019 we were able to make some improvements for riders with better segregation where riders want to go quicker and easier crossing of Capability’s Cutting. We had a larger section of the estate to enjoy a quiet canter away from steadier riders. An additional photographer at the trout hatchery fences helped reduce queuing.

About the ride
Riders gather and park in a specially allocated area of Burghley Park and are marshaled on the ride circuit in groups for the 10 – 12Km ride. Riders are allocated a group time before the event between 09.30am and 13.00. The tracks take riders onto the cross country course which, just the day before, hosted some of the best eventers in the world competing in an international five star eventing competition. Riders can walk or trot around the fences and enjoy the experience of seeing the massive fences first hand from the back of their own horses! The ride then continues, clearly marked and marshaled, onto tracks not normally open to riders. The ride usually takes about 1.5 hours there is no jumping, walk and trot only on the track plus a separate section for a canter in the park. We take care where possible not to crowd horses and riders by using staged setting off times whilst able to cater for large groups riding out together. Those wishing to take part in ‘their Burghley’ may enter on-line. The organisers will then send out a sponsor form and an acceptance letter as well as joining instructions and ride times a week or two beforehand. Anybody wishing to make the best of their visit can then pay the pedestrian entrance gate fee on the day to browse the legendary 500+ trade stands and enjoy the final show jumping phase (additional ticket required via Burghley website) of the international event.
