Yasmin Ingham and Goliath Du Loir have jumped a clear cross country round on their Defender Burghley CCI5*L debut.
The ten-year-old gelding owned by Janette Chinn and The Sue Davies Fund is one of three ten-year-olds the field at the prestigious event in Stamford, Lincolnshire.
As well as Goliath Du Loir’s debut at the five star level, this was Ingham’s Burghley debut and only her second 5* on British soil.
Goliath Du Loir was bred at the same stud as Yasmin’s World Champion partner Banzai Du Loir, and is by the same sire Nouma D’Auzay.

Speaking to Burghley TV following her round, Ingham said she was “super proud of Goliath Du Loir” and that “he was an absolute champ” and “tackled it like a pro”.
When asked about the course and whether it lived up to expectations, Ingham said that it was “big, bold and tough” and that she “had to be brave”.
The duo picked up 14 time penalties on the course, with a provisional placing of 7th place – this may change as cross country day continues.
Tomorrow (September 6) will see the final day of competition with show jumping starting at 10:30am.
