The Defender Burghley Horse Trials cross-country course is set to have a “different feel” for 2025 as it has been reversed for the first time since 2017.

Entries for the CCI5* (4–7 September) closed on Friday (15 August) and feature four riders who have previously won the title: reigning champion Ros Canter, Tim Price, Piggy March and Caroline Powell.

Event director Martyn Johnson said he is delighted that “once again we have great entries”.
