Join in on the Georgie Campbell Foundation fundraiser at Defender Burghley Horse Trials, have a great time and help raise funds for a very good cause.
The Foundation is aiming to raise funds for its beneficiary programme and cross-country safety improvement ambitions through a fascinating Cross Country Preview evening, a special auction with ‘money can’t buy items’, a prize draw with the EHOA and a guided coursewalk around Burghley with Jesse Campbell.
You can join the ‘Cross-Country Preview Event’ between 5pm and 7pm on Friday 5th September in the Event Horse Owners Association (EHOA) tent at Burghley for drinks, charcuterie, and a cross-country preview panel discussion.
Hosted by equestrian broadcaster Nicole Brown, the panellists Jesse Campbell, Tom McEwen, and Andrew Heffernan, Burghley’s assistant course designer, will discuss the course design, the predicted influential fences, how many will make the time, short routes, and all the need to knows ahead of cross-country day.
Tickets are available from £38.62 via EventBrite
