Competition

Defender Burghley centres round the CCI5* competition - the elite test of dressage, cross-country and showjumping at the highest level within the sport of eventing for the very best horses and riders in the world.

But while the CCI5* represents the pinnacle, the Dubarry Burghley Young Event Horse Finals for four- and five-year-old horses and the LeMieux Pony Club Team Jumping competition showcase the stars of the future in equine and human form.
