Australian Christopher Burton captured his first career CCI4* last weekend at Land Rover Burghley with his 11-year-old Hanoverian gelding Nobilis I8. The pair led from start to finish behind a brilliant dressage test that earned just 30.2 penalties, and carried the momentum to the notoriously technical and demanding cross country course with the day’s top round.

Here’s how it looked from the saddle, and the sideline. Enjoy.
