Press Release - 4 February 2025
Adelaide, Australia – The Adelaide Equestrian Festival is thrilled to announce the addition of Christopher Burton, Australia’s celebrated Olympian and three-time 5***** eventing champion, as a Festival Ambassador for the 2025 event. Fresh from his remarkable achievement of winning a Silver Medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Chris returns to Adelaide - here he achieved his very first world-class podium finish - bringing his expertise and passion to the heart of this iconic event.
Chris is no stranger to success at Adelaide, having claimed the prestigious 5***** title twice before in 2008 and 2013. In 2025, he will be part of the festival’s Cross Country Preview, a brand new feature event presented by the CrossCountry App.
The Cross Country Preview will be held on Friday, May 2, 2025, bringing together a star-studded panel of experts to explore the design and challenges of the iconic Adelaide course. Mike Etherington-Smith, the renowned UK-based 5***** course designer, will lead the discussion, offering insights into designing a world-class course in an urban setting. The evening will also feature stunning drone footage of the Adelaide track, along with a look at how to use the free CrossCountry App interactive maps (www.crosscountryapp.com) for the best spectator experience.
Special guests Chris Burton and Shane Rose will share their unique perspective in a ‘Rider’s View’ segment, whilst recounting personal stories from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games by providing exclusive behind-the-scenes insights.
Guests attending the Cross Country Preview will be treated to a welcome drink upon arrival, with award-winning food cart vendors and bar serving premium South Australian beverages. The event is family-friendly and designed for eventing enthusiasts of all levels, offering an unforgettable evening of education, inspiration, and excitement as they delve into the complexities of a world-class event and the strategies riders employ during the pivotal phase of Cross Country competition.
Tickets are available now and expected to sell out quickly. This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for anyone eager to learn from the best in the sport and relive the magic of Paris.
As part of his role as Festival Ambassador, Chris will also be hosting the Godolphin OTTB Masterclass on the morning of Saturday, May 3, in the Gillian Rolton Main Arena before the Cross Country action kicks off. Having won at the 5***** level three times—each time on a Thoroughbred—Chris is the ideal host for this special session. He will offer expert guidance to riders of Off-The-Track Thoroughbreds (OTTB) competing up to 3* level. Nominations are now open for four OTTBs to participate in this exciting masterclass, with submissions closing on Friday 28th March.
Don’t miss this chance to be coached by one of the worlds most accomplished eventers in Chris Burton, a three-time Olympian and dual Olympic medallist.
Chris Burton says: "I’m excited to return to Adelaide, where my international career really took off over two decades ago. It’s a special place for me, and I’m looking forward to sharing my passion, knowledge, and experiences with both fans and up-and-coming riders. I’m committed to helping contribute to Australia’s continued success on the world stage, and I can’t wait to be part of this incredible event."

https://hubet98.co.com/ bữa mình thử ghé xem sao vì thấy bạn bè nhắc hoài, chủ yếu kiểm tra coi có dễ dùng không. Vào cái là thấy bố cục gọn gàng, từng khu mục tách rõ nên khỏi mất công đoán mình đang ở đâu. Font chữ nhìn thoáng, tiêu đề nổi bật nên đọc lướt vẫn hiểu ý chính. Phần thông tin nạp/rút trình bày khá trực quan, có mấy kiểu quen như ví điện tử với chuyển khoản, không phải mò lâu. Dùng trên điện thoại vuốt kéo mượt, không bị đứng hay giật.
https://98win.toys/ mình vào thử vì thấy bạn bè nhắc, kiểu tò mò xem trang nhìn có “dễ thở” không. Mở lên cái thấy giao diện khá hiện đại, bố cục chia mảng rõ nên mình lướt nhanh là biết chỗ nào là phần giới thiệu, chỗ nào là nội dung chính, không bị rối. Mình dùng 4G trên điện thoại mà load ổn, cảm giác lên nội dung nhanh chứ không phải đợi lâu. Có đoạn nói họ có hơn 50 sản phẩm giải trí, mình không đọc kỹ từng cái nhưng nhìn menu với các nhóm nội dung cũng thấy khá đa dạng thật. Kéo xuống thấy các block tách riêng, tiêu đề to và căn gọn nên nhìn…
kristenroos.com mình vào thử cho biết vì thấy mọi người nhắc hoài, chứ không có mục đích gì nhiều. Vừa mở ra là thấy giao diện khá dễ thở, kiểu chia phần rõ nên lướt xuống không bị rối mắt. Mình có đọc lướt đoạn giới thiệu, thấy họ ghi cộng đồng hơn 5.500.000 hội viên, con số to nên cũng hơi chú ý một chút rồi thôi. Điểm mình thích hơn là cách họ trình bày chữ: tiêu đề nổi, đoạn văn ngắn, nhìn phát biết chỗ nào là nội dung chính. Mình xem trên điện thoại cũng ổn, cuộn mượt, không bị dính chữ hay phải phóng to thu nhỏ liên tục. Mấy mục kiểu tổng quan với…
https://thedriftboss.com/ showed up in my browser game rabbit hole the other day, so I poked it just to see if it was going to be a hassle. Honestly it was pretty chill — the game starts right in the page and I didn’t have to mess with downloads or sign-ups. I’m not even that into drifting games, but the one-button thing makes it easy to jump in without thinking too hard. On my phone it didn’t feel cramped or weirdly zoomed either, which I appreciate. What I liked most is how the page keeps your attention on the game area, and the extra details are just in a couple simple blocks underneath with clear headings.
Tried out Youtube Games on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the game quality. Some of the action games on there are genuinely entertaining for browser titles. The interface is simple and you can jump into a game within seconds.
