The Water Jump at Burghley

I went to Burghley today with friends - for the first time in ages, partly because I thought there might be lots of photo opportunities. My little camera really can't cope with the speed of the horses - so this is one of the best that shows the action. I included this one partly because of the design of this jump with it's astonishing giant duck (my friend thought it looked more like a seagull) which was really wierd! I was amazed that none of the horses appeared to be spooked by it, because I certainly was.

By the way, this is Stormstay ridden by Aaron Miller - for those of you who might ask!
