An Insight into Eventing: the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials

As title sponsors of the prestigious Burghley Horse Trials, we take a look at the sport of Eventing and the many different skills required by both rider and horse. In this video you'll see the exquisite poise of the dressage, the bravery and strength of the cross-country all the way through to the balance and precision of show-jumping.

LR's strong support of Equestrian events is why I have remained loyal to the brand and continue to own Range Rovers. Thank you!

[@katharineforsyth1870]

Eventing isn't the only sport where men and women compete equally. All equestrian sports combine men and women in competing classes - vaulting, show jumping, hunters, reining, etc., etc.

[@mckennai.921]

Eventing includes dressage show jumping and cross country btw

[@katharineforsyth1870]

Beata Shysmith why in the world would I need you to tell me that

[@mckennai.921]

Jade Hill Sport Horses cause you included show jumping

[@katharineforsyth1870]

Beata Shysmith show jumping is it's own entire sport. It's a completely different sport than eventing is considered. I'm guessing you're not very knowledgeable in the horse department...

[@mckennai.921]

Jade Hill Sport Horses search it up. Three day eventing is dressage show jumping and cross country :)

[@Lukay95]

i think this is great, they are the main sponsors or a lot of the top horse shows, this is far from horsing around this is peoples livelihoods, this video reaches out to one of Land Rovers main market segments as most horse riders will have land rovers, so i am led to believe that very few land rover owners would not be interested in what land rover does as a company not only as a car manufacturer. it is so much more than that it really supports a whole sport. its not just a car company.

[@elizabethempathetic7]

Land Rover is a country brand supporting eventing and big events in the horse world.

Did anyone else notice that for most of the time the horses’ ears were forward, which meant they were enjoying it.

[@madelynwolfside]

0:22 I cringed so much...why- why do people even think its a good idea to use a whip? your putting your horse in pain; not making it go faster. its going as fast as it can so just stop? people think their skin is thick right there but its rly not. its painful. whips/crops are made as an extension of your hand so use it that way.

[@lunamagicath1658]

Caitlin Pierce because it's unfair. If you got beaten constantly how would you feel? Horses and riders die on these courses and that's cause riders either don't listen to what their mount is trying to say and only care about winning. I assume u only care about winning if ur not bothered about the horse being whipped

[@aidamcewen6884]

Also it's been completely proven that using a whip has no effect on speed or whether they actually take the jump or not. I have no issue with ethical precise whip use but relying on one to scare your horse into jumps is not a good method.

Love u❤

[@borderlinewack]

0:22 oh god why If you have to carry a whip to control a horse then you're not a very good rider

[@borderlinewack]

Mane Equines how? 😂 If you can't use your legs then hurt the horse right? I get it, I carry a whip because if they disobey I put the whip on their skin so they can feel it and speed up, if that doesn't work then I hit my shoes and the last thing I do is tap them with a whip/not really hit them. These jockeys are smacking their horses and it's disgusting. They don't even use their legs

[@horseimpossible828]

"If you have to carry a whip to control a horse then you're not a very good rider" That's were you are wrong, my horse is very slow and I don't really like spurs, I use a whip. That doesn't make me a bad rider due to a whip.

[@wolvesonboard3355]

@@borderlinewack That ain't jockeys.

[@lunamagicath1658]

Wolves On Board trainers call riders jockeys especially in eventing

[@marta22gashtold]

Can one use a fragment of the video?

[@mandieloveshorses8195]

0:22 please please get off that poor horse :(

[@rfitzgerald4588]

Mandie loves horses what did he do wrong?

[@lunamagicath1658]

Róisín Fitzgerald he properly beat the horse he could have done a tap. Some eventers don't care about their horses and it's really sad

[@horsegirl2634]

One of the people wipped there horses not good

[@borderlinewack]

horse girl 26 a lot of them and I'm so mad because they weren't even slowing down amd even if they did for Christ's sake use you damn legs

[@borderlinewack]

Mane Equines these are not just taps they're pretty much slapping the horse. Also legs don't burn and scar their skin :/

[@jackhorgan9143]

The whip doesn’t scar or burn their skin for god sake these riders are the best in the world and that extra encouragement got that horse over safely and clear

[@nattydreadlocks1973]

not one black person in the whole video. what does that say? I know it doesn't have to be about race all the time, but it seems like a whole Market of people are unrealized. you don't have to own a horse to like to watch the sport.

[@eleanorleeson4457]

are you saying that there were no black riders? or that there was no body interviewed who happened to be black? That's not necessarily a conscious choice by the editor, you do realise. Maybe there are just more Caucasian's in the sport than there are people of African descent? I don't know. Don't make it a race issue when it's about the horses, not the people.

[@godillysillybilly6024]

nattydreadlocks1973 i rarely see black riders myself...they are rare to find

[@wolvesonboard3355]

Just shut up please. You rarely see black riders. Do they need to get impersonators because you dont see someone that's black? No. It's not their fault that they had to find a olympic rider that wants to be interviewed. They dont look at skin color. Please just go with your racist stuff to somewhere else. You cant even say something anymore or it is 'racist' like im so sick of that shit.

[@lunamagicath1658]

Ok I'm a black rider but I'm not at that level. The point of the sport is rider and horse not race. It is also a predominantly a rich white sport at the moment which is turning around. You have Donna Cheek

[@ruithealmightyYT]

In what way is this related to the Land Rover brand, as a vehicle manufacturer? Yes, it's well put together and the horses look nice, but IMO, when people subscribe to a car channel like Land Rover's, they expect car videos and news, not horses 'horsing' around. As one of Land Rover's biggest fans, I have to say I had different expectations for what this channel would be about.. I love LR, just keep up with more videos about the new, gorgeous, RR. No more horses, please.

[@lilytappin2112]

Rui Paiva cause they are sponsoring the event duh

[@wolvesonboard3355]

Land rover sponsers the event idiot🤦‍♀️ Litterly read the discription.
