Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo win back to back Burghley titles, plus everything else you need to know from the final day

Bethany Stone Bethany Stone

    • Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo are our Defender Burghley champions, adding this trophy to their cabinet for the second year running. Their poise and polish across the three phases made it feel like watching a masterclass and they deservedly topped the Burghley Horse Trials 2025 results.

    A field of 29 horses came forward to the showjumping phase looking in excellent fettle, but as always the course took some jumping. Just three of the top 10 left all the fences standing, and of those, only Harry Meade and Cavalier Crystal completed inside the time.
