World no. one Kent Farrington took home yet another major win, when topping this weekend's CSI5* Rolex Grand Prix at Tryon International Equestrian Center with Gazelle. It turned out to be an exiting three-horse jump-off, and here are some of the highlights featuring the top three riders. All photos (c) Jenny Abrahamsson.
Kent Farrington and Gazelle in action.
21-year-old Eugenio Garza was the first rider to go clear in round one over the difficult track, and the first rider to enter the jump-off. With a speedy clear he put pressure on the ones to come.

Richie Moloney and Carrabis Z were last to go, and did their very best to beat Farrington's time. They almost made it, but with the last fence falling they had to settle for the third place.
Everyone wanted to take photos with the winner...
... and getting his autograph.
The beautiful Gazelle.
Happy team!

Pure happiness for Eugenio Garza.
Moloney didn't waste all the champagne!
Cheers!
A happy winner!
