We reckon the horses of Badminton champion Piggy March are in eventer heaven — do you agree?
The rider, who was also the 2017 and 2019 Burghley runner-up, is based in Northamptonshire, at a purpose-build yard belonging to Belinda and David Keir. Set in 24 acres of breathtaking countryside, the former working cattle farm was redeveloped in 2013 and now ticks the criteria on any eventer’s dream wish list.
The yard is approached up a grass-lined drive, with turnout paddocks each side

This 24-stable American barn is the hub of the yard, complete with wash boxes, a solarium, large tack room and feed room, plus a separate six box quarantine block
