Defender Burghley Horse Trials is the flagship event of Land Rover’s equestrian sponsorship properties and 2024 saw the 20th year of title sponsorship of the event.
We provided video coverage for Jaguar Land Rover’s Defender marque during Burghley Horse Trials, one of only seven world FEI 5-star equestrian events. As the single title sponsor, Defender’s presence was integral to the four-day competition, which features Dressage, Cross Country, and Jumping. This gave us an abundance of hero camera shot potential, featuring star athletes and the public enjoying an exciting day of high-quality equestrian sport at its top level, and the incredible opportunity to present this footage to its best effect.
