The Pau Horse Trials entries look particularly strong this year, with 62 horses set to contest the final five-star of the year (26-29 October).

Twenty-three of these are piloted by British riders, with the challenge led by world number one Ros Canter. Ros has two horses in the mix – Kate James and Annie Makin’s Pencos Crown Jewel, who tipped Ros off at Burghley Horse Trials in September but has strong five-star form prior to that, and the Blenheim Horse Trials winner Izilot DHI. The talented but tricky 10-year-old “Isaac” – owned by his rider and Alex Moody – is making his five-star debut.
