Show jumping is set to kick off in just a few minutes’ time at 10 a.m. EST, and we’re bringing you all of the live updates here. Be sure to refresh this post as we wind down this year’s CCI4* at Pau. We’ve got three North Americans in the top 10 going into this phase, so we’ll be cheering them on the whole way around this morning.
The course is designed by Jean Phillippe Desmaret, who also designed the two-star course that ran earlier today. Commentator John Kyle remarked that the course was challenging for the Intermediate riders, so we’ll have to see how it rides for the upcoming four-star rides.
Sharon White will be the first out with Wundermaske. You can find the full start list here.
