PAU CCI5*-L - the seventh of such elite fixtures in the eventing calendar - wrapped up this year’s five-star action. So which horses and studbooks were the 2025 champions?

Starting on the home front, no wins this year for Irish Sport Horses, unlike in 2024 when Greenacres Special Cavalier (Cavalier Royale - Greenacres Touch, by Touchdown. Breeder: Michael Callery) and the mighty old warrior Ballaghmor Class (Courage II - Kilderry Place. Breeder: Noel Hickey) won at Badminton and Maryland respectively, with Caroline Powell (NZL) and Oliver Townend (GBR).
