Ocala, Florida, USA – March 17, 2024 – Kent Farrington (USA) came close to earning another major victory last Sunday,  this time at the Live Oak International (USA) by finishing second in the $200,000 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Ocala CSI 4*-W, presented by Lugano Diamonds.

Olaf Petersen Jr. (GER) set a stiff track in Ocala, characterized by its connectedness and uniquely designed fences. Just four combinations were able to execute a clear round and advance to a competitive jump-off, amongst them Kent Farrington (USA) and Toulayna.

Always fiercely competitive, Kent Farrington (USA) brought forward the athletic 10-year-old bay Zangersheide mare (Toulon x Parco) as the penultimate combination, and the pair executed the first double-clear effort of the day, taking the lead thanks to an efficient track and some impressive turns. The duo went on to finishing second in the coveted contest due to their jump-off time of 42.58 seconds.
