KENT FARRINGTON AND EASY GIRL WIN THE $75,000 1.50M CHAMPIONSHIP CSI5*

February 13, 2022

Despite a downpour, 56 competed over Kelvin Bywater’s five-star course with 17 going clean to advance to the jump-off. Only four were clean in the jump-off, with Farrington on Easy Girl the fastest in a time of 37.27 seconds.

“She is a great horse, and she was winning classes before I got her,” said Farrington. “To be able to get on her and pick up on producing successful rounds with her immediately is I think a testament to what a nice horse she is. She is very fast, brave, and careful, which is a perfect example of what a modern show jumper should be.”

In the mare’s last big victory, she was ridden by Santiago Lambre, who won the $217,000 BFL Canada Major League Show Jumping Grand Prix CSI5* with her. Farrington only acquired the mare at the beginning of the circuit and is optimistic about her future after such success only several weeks into their start as a new team.

“She has turned out to be quite rideable, and as I get to know her we are only forming a stronger partnership class by class,” said Farrington. “My plan today for the jump-off was just to go at cruise speed, but she is so naturally quick that even just her neat round is plenty fast. I am excited to see where she takes me, and no matter what she does I think she’s a great addition to the stable.”
