Étoiles de Pau
The Horse Show Stars de Pau ( French star Pau ) is a place of annual competition in eventing . The tournament is held in the southern French city of Pau and marks the end of the eventing season. Since 2012, an international driving sport tournament has also been held in connection with the eventing tournament.
Tournament and history
The FEI World Equestrian Federation counts the competition as one of the six most important tournaments worldwide, in the CCI 5 * -L category (until 2018: CCI 4 *). The other tournaments in this category are the Badminton Horse Trials , the Burghley Horse Trials , the Kentucky Three-Day Event , the Australian International Three Day Event and the Luhmühlen Eventing . from 2008 to 2016 the CCI von Pau was part of the FEI Classics tournament series .
The tournament was held for the first time in 1991, initially as a CCI 1 *. In the following year the announcement was changed, in the following years the tournament was advertised as CCI 2 *. In 2001 the European championship for eventing riders was held in Pau .
After the tournament was advertised as CCI 3 * in 2002, it hosted the finals of the Versatility World Cup in 2003 and 2004 . From 2003 onwards, in addition to the main competition, a small event at the CIC 2 * level will also take place at the same time. After the main test of the tournament was held in 2005 as a World Cup test (CIC 3 * -W), it was carried out again in 2006 as a CCI 3 * (as a test tournament for the future CCI 4 * competition). In 2007 the main test was included in the group of CCI 4 * tournaments. With the change in the designation system for international versatility at the beginning of 2019, the previous CCI 4 * will now be called CCI 5 * -L.
An international driving sport tournament has been held in Pau since 2008. This took place at the end of May until 2011, from 2012 to 2014 it took place one week after the CCI 4 *. After the tournament first time in 2011. In 2011, the official French tournament was buggy (CAIO 1), followed in subsequent years, the official French tournaments for Pairs and Pony teams through to pony Vierspänner .
In 2015, the driving tests were held for the first time at the same time as the eventing tournament. The pony tests disappeared from the program, instead the official French tournament of four-in-hand large horses (CAIO4 * -H4) was held for the first time. This test was also a qualifying tournament for the four-in-hand World Cup 2015/2016. In the following year, the French Nations Cup for large horse pairs (CAIO4 * -H2) was held here.
