The Autumn Tour at Moura Tours in Valencia delivered another day of top-level showjumping, featuring two highly contested CSI4* classes: the 1.40m Medium Tour Two Phases Special and the 1.45m Big Tour Against the Clock. With nearly 150 combined starters across both competitions, the fields were stacked with experienced riders and rising talent.
The day opened with the CSI4* 1.40m Medium Tour, a Two Phases Special in which the momentum between phases proved essential. Laura Renwick secured the win with Cottee (Asterix E Z) after delivering a seamless clear round in 32.81 seconds, setting a pace that none of the remaining 62 competitors could match. Megane Moissonnier followed closely aboard Chacarija PS (Chacoon Blue), finishing in 34.04 seconds, while Constant van Paesschen and Rolex By Hidalgo Z (Rotchild du Bosquetiau) completed the top three with a clear in 34.87 seconds.
Italy’s Elia Simonetti and Call Me de Muze Z (Clarissimo Z) claimed fourth with 35.11 seconds, and the top five concluded with Imma Roquet Autonell riding Dalia del Maset (Diamant de Semilly) flawlessly to 36.25 seconds.

Later in the afternoon, the spotlight shifted to the CSI4* 1.45m Big Tour, a Table A against the clock. Constant van Paesschen, already present on the earlier podium, dominated this class aboard Diaz du Thot (Ready Boy des Forets 'Hn') with a winning time of 65.28 seconds. His performance stood up against a deep field of 89 starters and ultimately delivered him the top prize.
Just behind came Thibaut Keller with Happy Girl T (Sandro Boy) in 65.55 seconds, while Ruben Arroyave and Valeska Z (Van Gogh) took third in 65.81 seconds after another polished clear round. Laura Renwick, already victorious earlier in the day, secured fourth with If Evers Girl (If Ever 111) in 66.57 seconds, and Alexis Goulet rounded out the top five on Be Hippy TT (Balou du Rouet) with 67.23 seconds.
