Burghley Horse Trials

We went back to Burghley on Saturday and had a very early start as Mum wanted to be there for breakfast and we made it too!

We had a good walk around the shops whilst it was still quiet and then later went around the course to see all the fantastic fences.



After lunch we had a short snooze in the car while the hoomans had another walk around and met an absolutely gorgeous (Mum's words) Welshie puppy on his first day out at 3 months old.  How lucky was he to have his first big day at Burghley?  Mum was doubly excited because he is a Pamicks puppy so that means he is related to our Murph .. probably one reason why he was so lovely.

Back to us and a last walk around the rest of the course in time to see a one of Mum's favourites Oliver Townend and Armada.  (He loves near my Nana you know.)


 She also has a soft spot for grey horses


and this chap especially ... Avebury.  He was the overall winner on Sunday so she was very pleased.



We had a lovely day.  It was very busy but not too hot so I managed very well Mum said.  I was a bit crackered by the end of the day though and struggling to keep my eyes open.
