The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials are underway and if you didn’t get enough equestrian coverage during the Olympics, this should be a great treat. Burghley always does a great job of making the coverage accessible — and free.

Cross country starts at 11:15am GB time (6:15am US eastern) and the last horse is due on course at 3:45 pm (10:45am US eastern) but you will able to watch on demand on Burghley.tv. It being the UK, it is supposed to rain tomorrow so fingers crossed that the footing stays good.
