THE 2024 international eventing season drew to a close at the weekend, with Les 5 Etoiles de Pau CCI5* being held in France in far from ideal weather conditions. Weather didn’t matter to Britain’s Caroline Harris who won the first five-star of her career with D.Day after two phenomenal jumping phases.

Their dressage score of 30.3 left them in 22nd after the first phase, but the 10-year-old British-bred gelding by Billy Mexico made short work of the testing cross-country conditions to rise all the way to the top of the leaderboard, which is where they stayed after a clear show jumping round on Sunday.
