Ruth Edge (GBR), who is one of the most accomplished riders in the Dressage arena, is in her customary position at the head of the leaderboard with a score of 45.5 penalties at the end of the first day of the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials (GBR), finale of the 2011-2012 HSBC FEI Classics™.

However, Edge admits that Burghley is a bold step up in class for her mount, Rogersdale, one of a handful of 10-year-olds in the field, as he has only done one CCI3* - Tattersalls (IRL) in June, where he was seventh.

Switzerland’s Felix Vogg has won the FEI World Cup™ Eventing 2012 title. The 22-year-old finished the World Cup season on 86 points, level with Belgium’s Karin Donckers, but under the series rules, in the event of equality, the rider with the highest placing is declared the winner and Vogg’s second place finish in Strzegom (POL) has secured him the title and the winner’s cheque of €9,000.
