2025 Is the Year of Kent Farrington

According to the Chinese calendar, 2025 is the year of the snake. But in show jumping, it’s unquestionably the year of Kent Farrington.

With one month still to go, the reigning world no. 1 has claimed a mind boggling 15 Grands Prix this year (Jumpr stats). FIFTEEN. He’s averaging more than a GP win a month and more than half of those wins (8) have come at the 5* level.

To put that unfathomable achievement in context, his closest competition is two-time Olympic gold medalist Scott Brash, runner up for most GP wins in 2025 (to date) and on the Longines World Ranking. Brash has won eight GPs this year—six at 1.60m and two at 1.50m—on four different horses.

Keeping Farrington’s win streak ablaze this year are Toulyana, Greya, Grass De Mars, Orafina, and Kanny-Fee.

Greya is the undisputed MVP in that lineup. With seven GPs wins this season—the most recent on Saturday in the CSI4* Arthramid Holiday & Horses Grand Prix at Wellington International—she has now eclipsed former Farrington mount Gazelle for most GP titles in a single season. (Gazelle won six with Farrington in 2017).

And, at just 11-years old, she’s closing in on the record for most career GP wins set by Gazelle and McLain Ward-piloted HH Azur. Both mares retired with 17 GP wins apiece at the 4 & 5* levels. Greya already has 10.

With four weeks still to go in 2025 and his win streak still raging, Farrington is only competing against himself ofr 2025 records at this point.
