Is Defender Burghley Horse Trials the end of summer or the start of autumn? Today it was both – decidedly damp with that smell of the changing seasons, and yet also probably a bit too warm for the coat you’ve dug out the car.
That cross season feel was reflected in the fashion on Burghley’s first trot-up on Wednesday (2 September), where transitional styles were one of the big sartorial themes. Yes, today’s horse inspection is about the sport – you can read H&H’s full report on that side of things and also re-cap a blow-by-blow account on our live news service, but it’s fun to enjoy the style too.
