Farrington and Greya Triumph in Fort Worth
Kent Farrington and the outstanding mare Greya claimed victory at the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Final in Fort Worth, delivering a performance defined by precision and consistency across all three rounds.
The Final, built on a demanding format, including a speed class, a technical first round, and a two-round decider, tested every aspect of top-level sport. Course designers set tracks that required careful balance between scope and rideability, with tight turns, delicate verticals, and combinations coming late in the course, putting pressure on even the most experienced riders.
Farrington remained composed throughout, producing faultless rounds at crucial moments. Greya stood out for her exceptional carefulness and efficiency, never touching a rail when it mattered most.
This Final is about managing your horse over several days. Greya gave me everything — she was focused, careful, and with me every step of the way,
said Farrington.
A High-Level Podium
The podium reflected the depth of the sport, with top combinations pushing until the very last fences of the competition. Margins were tight, and every rail proved decisive in a Final where consistency outweighed risk-taking.
You cannot afford mistakes in this format. It’s about building round after round,
Farrington added.
Precision Wins Championships
Unlike a single Grand Prix, the World Cup Final rewards sustained excellence. Farrington’s victory highlighted not only his tactical intelligence but also the importance of partnership, a combination of trust, experience, and careful planning.
With this win, Farrington further confirms his position at the very top of the sport, while Greya establishes herself as one of the most reliable and competitive horses on the international stage.
A Strong and Competitive Podium
Close behind, Daniel Deusser with Otello de Guldenboom finished second on seven penalties, less than a rail separating him from the winner after a consistently strong week.
Third place went to Katie Dinan riding Out of the Blue SCF, who impressed with a double clear performance in the final competition, finishing on a total of nine penalties.
