A Quiet Day at Burghley

TEAM FLAIR'S Sam Griffiths

The cocktail party was, as always, a very special occasion. It was a beautiful evening and this time we were out on the front lawn of the house in amongst ancient yew trees- it was stunning! Having done my dressage I could definitely have my fair quota of bubbly! We then headed to the Event Riders Association dinner which is always great fun and good food. After all that we needed a quiet day today! We walked the course again, this time working out all our minute markers etc. I gave Happy a little jump this afternoon- he was on fire! Really ready to take on those huge fences tomorrow. I’m very pleased to say that I’m lying 10th equal after all the dressage so that’s pretty good from number one to go yesterday so we’re well in contention. This evening we’ve had an Aussie team BBQ for all the Aussie riders, owners and connections- as you can imagine some are still going strong but I’m sneaking off to bed very soon….Big day tomorrow – wish me luck! Sam.
