ABOUT THE 2005 LAND ROVER BURGHLEY HORSE TRIALS presented
by Dover Saddlery
One of only four elite eventing competitions in the world
at this highest level of CCI**** competition, the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials
is perhaps the ultimate test of superior skill for equestrian athletes. EEP brings
this long-celebrated event to American television in a 90-minute special presentation
of Inside Horse Sports; with introductory commentary by US Olympic Gold Medalist
David O'Connor.
ABOUT EVENTING: THE ULTIMATE HORSE SPORT presented
by World Equestrian Brands
The sport of three-day eventing can look easy.
It is anything but. It requires skill and sacrifice, power and precision. The
right horse, the right mind-set, and sometimes pure luck can make the difference
between a clean ride and a harrowing fall. Will today's most promising riders
learn this the hard way? Find out on Eventing: The Ultimate Horse Sport, a unique
television series that offers a revealing look at the grit behind the glamour
in equestrian sport.
