Chris Burton & TS Jamaimo

Chris was born on a farm in Toowoomba, Queensland but once his interest in eventing really kicked in he moved to New South Wales. Burton and James have only been a combination since Chris got a last minute call to compete at the 2013 Australian International Three Day Event (the most prestigious three day event in Australia). The pair ended up winning the CC14* competition which is an extraordinary achievement seeing as the duo only had days to form a partnership leading into the event. Earlier this year Jamaimo was moved to the UK, and Burton was made the permanent rider of the gelding. The horse was bred to race but never had an official start. TS Jamaimo was awarded the Equestrian Australia domestic horse of the year at the 2013 awards ceremony.
