In show jumping, jumping clear, consistently, at any height is a rarity. But only a small handful of horses have that rare combination of physical and mental ability required to post zeros, rounds after round, at the sport’s highest level.
So which horses jumping in the top-sport right now have the highest clear-round averages in 2025? Let’s dive in!
Methodology
For stats, we turned to Jumpr App, which allows users to narrow a horse’s clear-round percentage by time length (the last 365 days), height (1.60m+), show rating (5*), by a horse’s age (N/A), and more. A search using those criteria will pull up two horses with an impressive 100% clear round average. By the same token, though, they’ve only competed in four 1.60m rounds in the last 365 days.
Looking a little deeper, we’ll need to develop a baseline for the top clear round percentages measured against the number of rounds a horse has jumped; ideally, regularly throughout last season. And there’s one horse who’s done that better than any other in the ring today.
The ‘Greya’ Factor
Our benchmark, here, is of course, the unparalleled Greya, ridden by Kent Farrington, who won seven 5* 1.60m+ Grands Prix in 2025. Altogether, Greya jumped 13 rounds at that height last year and was clear 77% of the time (she further made the podium in an astounding 80% of the classes she competed!).
In this category and practically every other, Greya remains a head above the rest of the pack. But there are three horses that more than hung in her company in 2025, having jumped a dozen or more rounds at 1.60m+, and maintained a clear round percentage higher than 65%.
Foremost of these? Yet another talented grey mare who may be giving Greya a real run for her money in 2026… read on!
#3. Cayman Jolly Jumper
Disqualification aside, what was truly a shame about Simon Delestre’s helmet malfunction at this fall’s GCL Prague Playoffs is that it stole some of the spotlight away from what has been a truly standout season for the French rider and his partner of five years, Cayman Jolly Jumper.
With three, 5* 1.60m Grand Prix wins in 2025, Cayman Jolly Jumper earned more than €1,416,000 in prize money, and finished third overall for podium finishes (besting Greya in the former category, and tying her in the second). In 2025, Delestre—who has called Cayman “exceptional; really a cut above the rest”—and the 14-year-old Selle Français gelding competed a dozen rounds at the 5* 1.60m height, jumping clear a stellar 67% of the time.
#2. Highland President
In the spring of 2024, Ireland’s Trevor Breen was competing in Hamburg, Germany, hot on the heels of Paris Olympic qualification with his homebred gelding, Highland President, when a serious freak fall on course sidelined the pair’s hopes. Fortunately, Breen was back competing four months later, and his numbers with the 14-year-old KWPN gelding have done nothing but improve ever since.
Breen and “Archie” jumped eight consecutive clears for Ireland in Nations Cup competition in 2025, also winning the 5* Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi last February. Together, the pair competed 13, 5* rounds at 1.60m+ in 2025, jumping clear 69% of the time.
#1. Corbie V.V.
Of all the horses Daniel Bluman has ridden in his career, he makes no bones about Corbie V.V., calling her the most difficult he’s ever worked with. “I didn’t know that horses could have that amount of personality and character,” he’s said.
Fortunately for Bluman, that ‘character’ also conceals a deep well of show jumping talent. After competing their first 5* Grand Prix together at MLSJ Toronto in 2024—and suffering a refusal—the pair hit their stride one year later, and then some. Not only did they take second in the 5* 1.60m Grand Prix at MLSJ Greenwich, they returned to win that very same Kubota Grand Prix in Toronto where they’d struggled in 2024.
Perhaps most tellingly, Corbie posts zeros at nearly the same, impressive clip as her spicy-grey-sister-from-another mista, Greya—jumping clear in a dozen rounds at 1.60m 75% of the time.
Could 2026 be year of Corbie V.V.? Stay tuned.
