Toshiyuki Tanaka and Jefferson JRA, who earned their share of the bronze medal in Paris thanks to a late substitute in for show jumping only, in the 13-year-old Holsteiner geldings first CCI5* and Toshis first since 2019.French Olympic medalist Nicolas Touzaint has opted to approach Burghley this year one of his original horses for Paris, Absolut Gold HDC. After the horse was removed from Paris considerations by his owners, Nicolas told us Burghley was in his sights instead. This is an exciting debut of sorts for Nicolas, whos done just about everything there is to do in this sport with multiple medals and wins to prove it but is making his first trip to Burghley. This will also be Absolut Gold HDCs first CCI5*, having primarily been targeted toward championships throughout his career to date.Felix Vogg and Cartania. Photo by Tilly Berendt.Another rider we saw in Paris, Switzerlands Felix Vogg, has also put his name in the hat with the 13-year-old Holsteiner mare Cartania, with whom hes finished top-15 at Badminton two times over.Finally, perhaps one of my favorite storylines in the early going is that of 56-year-old Declan Cullen of Ireland, who is making his CCI5* debut at Burghley with the splashily colored Irish gelding, Seavaghan Ash. Declan came from a show jumping background and, despite not doing a CCI5* to this point, has extensive experience in the sport dating back to the late 90s. Hes produced a number of young horses to compete in the FEI WBFSH Young Horse World Championships at le Lion dAngers and is also a nutrition and feed consultant who consulted with Irish High Performance for two World Championships and two Olympic Games. Together with his wife, Becky, Declan runs Cullen Equine Solutions, where they both are respected coaches who also provide technology and nutritional solutions for their clients.You can keep up with Burghley entries as they come in here, and stay tuned for our next update when we see a few more come in.ENs coverage of Defender Burghley is proudly presented by Kentucky Performance Products, your one-stop shop for science-backed nutritional support for every horse.
