Burghley Horse Trials 2009

After our trip over to Ireland we went back to Lancashire

It never stopped raining so we were thinking Burghley was going to be very muddy!

but as we drove nearer we could see that it was much dryer in Lincoln shire.

Burghley House

Part of a combination, this birch fence is made to look like a land rover

As we were walking around the stalls
I began to see things in double!
which turned out quite amusing.
Here is a look alike Mum & Daughter cute!

Then I noticed all the dogs came in pairs too!

Spaniels

Jack Russell's

Basset Hounds

Wolf Hounds

Black Labs

Spottie's

Matching Colours!

Very smart Whippets designer Bandanna's!

Lurchers (got a soft spot for lurchers)

Toughie's

This bridge is so wide, but obviously jumps well

Whippets are for horsey people

Matching in more ways than one! The Hunting look

Beagles following their noses, probably for food.!

Mushroom Fence

The Railway line fence this fence is a down hill Oxo very wide.

Time to sit & watch

Narrow combination well jumped

Lunch time, ever hopeful Flat Coats!

Spots are in

Waiting for Mum & Dad

Whippets waiting too

Pointers longingly pointing a hot dog!!

This Lurcher has its eyes on a very large ice cream if I remember correctly!

The Score Board, a meeting eating place.

Fitzwilliam Hounds

No chance of the hounds catching this fox!

thought it was a novel way of using horse shoes.
