There has been one change to the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials cross-country course on the track designed by Derek di Grazia, ahead of cross-country day on Saturday (3 September).

The original numbering of the Trout Hatchery combination at fence 10abcdef meant it was not possible for riders to change their minds about their route after jumping the straight route rolltop (fence 10cd) into the second pond. They were committed to then jumping the skinny in the water (fence 10ef).
