““We have consistently held that the burden is upon a defendant to establish the grounds on which he relies, to set aside a default entered against him, by clear and convincing proof; that the granting or denial of an application to vacate a default, based on excusable neglect rests in the sound judicial discretion of the trial court and to warrant a reversal it must appear that there was an abuse of that discretion. Self v. Watt, 128 Colo. 61 , 259 P. (2d) 1074 ; Mosco v. Jeannot, 86 Colo. 441 , 282 Pac. 874 ; Connell v. Continental Casualty Co., 87 Colo. 573 , 290 Pac. 274 ; Mountain, et al. v.
