Sarah Bullimore now sits at the top of the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials dressage leaderboard, as the first day of action (1 September) draws to a close.

Sarah’s forward flowing test on the home-bred Corouet, an 11-year-old owned by his rider, her husband Brett and the Kew Jumping Syndicate, earned her 22.5 from the judges, just 0.1 of a penalty ahead of Piggy March and Vanir Kamira, who were in the arena earlier in the afternoon.
