CCI5*-L de Burghley – Just wahou !
For its first CCI5*-L, Absolut Gold*HDC didn’t do things by halves: Burghley.
For the uninitiated, there are only 5 competitions in the world stamped 5* in eventing, and Burghley is reputed to be the most difficult.
After a magnificent dressage test, scoring 73.890% (26.1 points), Nicolas and Absolut set off on this extraordinary cross-country course. They returned without any penalties at the obstacles and with a time of 8.8 points. They are still in the top 10. The last event remained: show jumping, which they flew over magnificently to close this magical weekend with a clear round in the time.
All in all, a very fine 7th place and, for us, some incredible memories.
