Toronto, Ontario – November 09, 2023 – Kent Farrington (USA) and Greya stormed to second place in the $150,000 Mad Barn Big Ben International Challenge CSI 4*-W on Thursday evening, November 9, at the Royal Horse Show in Toronto, Ontatio, Canada.

Twenty-two starting combinations contested the first-round track set by British course designer Kelvin Bywater (GBR), and seven jumped fault-free to advance to the jump-off. 

U.S. Olympian Kent Farrington (USA) set the time to beat at 36.75 seconds aboard Greya, the nine-year-old Oldenburg mare (Colestus x Contender) owned by Kent Farrington LLC.  Galloping across the Coca-Cola Coliseum, it looked like Farrington was on the cusp of another victory, until Coyle entered the arena two rides later.
