    Episode 55: Christopher Burton

    All Clear welcomes Olympian Christopher Burton, who shares how growing up on a Queensland farm, pony club, and Australia’s Olympic eventing success sparked his ambitions. Chris explains moving to the UK with owner support, basing with Sam Griffith and later in Dorset for around 15 years, then returning to Australia with his wife Bek to raise their children. He discusses changes in Australia, the strength of local Jumping, and standout events like Jumping with the Stars and Showcase of Showjumping. Chris outlines his breeding/performance venture Deo Futura, the stallions he’s standing, and balancing stud duties with competition, plus coaching and Bek’s central role in the business. He talks candidly about Australia’s prospects for Brisbane 2032, Australian-bred horses, time-allowed challenges and the need for private-sector funding to overcome geographic barriers. 00:00 Welcome to All Clear 00:32 Chris Burton Intro 01:07 Early Riding Roots 01:38 Pony Club to Olympics 02:15 Move to the UK 03:26 Coming Home to Australia 05:06 Australia Scene Now 06:11 Deo Futura Vision 07:19 Meet the Stallions 08:36 Temperament and Workload 10:14 Coaching and Team Bec 11:49 Five Year Business Goals 13:02 Showcase of Showjumping 13:49 Where Aussie Jumping Sits 15:17 Australian Bred Potential 16:33 Beating the Time Allowed 18:26 Advice for Young Riders 19:16 Sponsors and Growth 23:03 Toowoomba Olympic Legacy 23:56 Funding and High Performance 26:35 What Still Motivates Chris 27:39 Paris Reserve Experience 28:19 Podcast Tradition Questions 29:50 Advice to 18 Year Old Self 30:29 Question for Next Guest 31:09 Final Thanks and Wrap
