From our partnership with the British Equestrian Federation we see first-

hand the commitment and enthusiasm these riders have for the sport, and to finally see their perseverance pay-off with medal winning finishes and the support of the entire country, is sensational.

“This year’s event will be fundamental for Land Rover as it will see the UK reveal of two of our most significant products, 13 model year Freelander 2 and 13 model year Defender. We have chosen Burghley for these two important reveals as the event provides us with a fantastic setting to showcase key aspects or our brand to thousands of people, and perfectly demonstrates our on-going commitment to equestrian sport and countryside pursuits.”
