2012 FRA-Les Étoiles de Pau CCI****/CIC**
Thursday 25 October
After a tease of the past few days of BRILLIANT weather, we have been pinged back into Autumn!!!!
BUSY DAY: and by golly, she was a dark start (images to prove this!!!)
The CIC** Dressage is completed with NZL-Mark Todd (REGENT LAD) leading the way, and AUS-Christopher Burton (GRAF LIBERTY) nipping at his heels with just 0.7pts between them!!! AUS-Bill Levett (ALEXANDER NJ) is in mid-range lying 20TH - he is very happy to have been able to run in the CIC** with what was his Le Lion d'Angers horse.
The CCI**** STARS took to the runway at 11.30am, followed by the first 21 doing their Dressage this afternoon - the remaining 42 will be performing tomorrow...
Beautiful horses surround us here, and the BEAUTIFUL french - the hospitality is superb and the atmosphere is a charged-relaxed - if that makes sense!!!!
Lets look through the images and let them take you through the day...
