What a day it was at Le Etoiles de Pau CCI4*. Experienced pairs came to grief, four-star first timers kicked serious butt and, of course, Michael Jung is winning (with one immobile ankle).
It was a tough day for the North Americans as well, but at the end of the day, we can all be glad everyone came home safe and sound. If you missed it, you can catch up on all the action via our live updates post, and stay tuned for much more from France!

Really tough day today. Unfortunately whitey had a breathing problem on course and I had to pull up. Thankfully he is healthy and happy back at his stall. Thank you to everyone who has supported me. Posted by Lillian Heard on Saturday, October 24, 2015
