Katie Price at Burghley Horse Trials

Katie Price, better known as 'Jordan' in the glamorous world of fashion, attended this year's Burghley Horse Trials to promote her new range of riding equipment - available in any colour you want providing it's PINK!

Having set up our own trade stand, not 50 metres away from Katie's, I tried to obtain a good shot of her for this year's blog. However I was physically forced aside by one of her 7 foot bodyguards and so we can thank 'would-be-paparazzi' Nigel Crook for this feature photo of 'Jordan'. (Nigel had managed to conceal himself in Katie's trendy, pink horse blankets - thus escaping the attention of both Peter André and her security officials - and later emerged to snap this shot of the popular model icon).

"I've worked with a top team of high-street fashion designers and we've applied quality fashion design to some classic equestrian pieces, and given a horsey twist to a few general leisure items," Katie says. "It's fashionable and stylish but at the same time functional and wearable."

The disappointing weather conditions at Burghley this year failed to dent the enthusiasm of the huge crowds that attended this top international equestrian event. The prolonged rainfall eventually turned the grounds into thick mud making the going more than 'heavy' both for the public and the participating horses. Never-the-less William Fox-Pitt managed to score his fifth Burghley Horse Trials win when he clinched victory with his proven horse 'Tamarillo'. To cap a brilliant weekend, he also finished second with Ballincoola.

Many, of course, failed to see a single horse - the outside shopping avenues being the focus of attention for those determined to beat the credit crunch!

KATIE PRICE - PINK SAPPHIRE RING

Rumours that our latest pink sapphire ring design featured at the Burghley Horse Trials will be named the "Katie Price Pink Sapphire Ring" are wholly untrue. Although many commented it was the ideal accessory for Jordan's range of pink equestrian fashion gear, Katie wasn't able to try it on during her busy schedule at Burghley and it is also untrue that Peter André offered to buy it for her!
