Pau is inching closer and closer. The North American horses have arrived at the competition venue and are settling in, and the chinchillas are working hard to get Jenni and Kate over so that they can bring us all of the up to the minute coverage we could possibly want. The first horse in the sandbox is at 9:30 am local time (3:30 AM EST).

Over in camp Pollard, it was laundry day and once again the team showed off their impressive improvisation skills.
It takes 2 to do the laundry! Photo from Alison Willaby's Facebook.
Overall, it appears that everyone has arrived and settled in safely. The horses look stellar and primed for competition, and the riders and grooms all look excited to be there, if not just a tad sleep deprived!
