World number one Kent Farrington has had no shortage of great horses in his career. But even he’ll tell you Greya is in a class of her own.
“She’s very fast. She’s almost more like a cat than a horse. She’s really quick across the ground, incredibly careful at the jump, so you can take first line on almost any fence. You can come into a combination with speed. She is just a different level horse, which is a huge advantage in a jump off,” said Farrington after winning the B&D Builders Grand Prix in Traverse City, MI at the Major League Show Jumping season opener on Sunday.
The pair topped a 15-horse jump off with the only sub-39 second time to earn their fourth 1.60m Grand Prix title of the year.
Four titles! That’s a record that’s exceptional among five-star horses, and simply awe-inspiring for her age cohort.
Greya is the winningest 11-year old currently competing in the international ring. Over her short career, she’s already earned six GP wins at the five-star level to date. Her closest competition in her age cohort are the likes of Zineday, Toulayna, Battlecry, Just Be Gentle, Cepano Baloubet and Iron Dames Cyedello—each of which have won two (Jumpr stats).
With her now fourth GP title this year, she also the winningest Grand Prix horse of 2025—of any age. Only three other horses have won three GPs at that level this year: Christian Kukuk’s Olympic champion Checker 47 (age 15), Simon Delestre’s Cayman Jolly Jumper (13) and Julien Epaillard’s Donatello D’Auge (12).
There is one horse, however, that Greya has yet to eclipse and it’s another great from Farrington’s past: Gazelle earned six 5* Grand Prix wins during her 11-year-old season with the speedy American in the stirrups, including the Rolex Grand Prix of Geneva.
You can bet the reigning world number one will try to match that record over the next four months, but whether they succeed or not, he’s enjoying the ride.
“It just feels great to have a horse like this to ride at all. No matter what venue I take her to, she can always deliver,” said Farrington. “I feel very privileged to have an athlete like this.”
