The 2024/25 World Cup Jumping Australian League reached its thrilling conclusion at The Elms Sale World Cup Show, where Robert Palm and Jaybee Vibrant delivered a standout performance to claim victory. With the rain rolling in just before the class began, the final promised to be a test of skill for Australia’s very best showjumpers.
Despite the conditions, the show went ahead seamlessly, thanks to the committee’s exceptional effort in preparing the grounds.
The Final Standings
With only 13 competitors and a demanding course, Rob and Jaybee Vibrant emerged as the only rider to go clear in both rounds. It was experienced combination Ally Lamb and Eagle Rock who placed second, following on from their Grand Prix win at Boneo last weekend. No strangers to the circuit, Clem Smith and Oaks Conjurer rounded out the top three on 8 faults.
A World Cup to be remembered, the class also saw two exciting combinations debut in Mikayla Hogg and Corringa, and Samantha Dernee and Laurel Glen Quintessence. The future of Australian showjumping is certainly laying strong foundations.
