26-year-old Hunter Holloway and her charming Pepita Con Spita (DSP Con Spirit x Come On) took a very popular third place at the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Final 2023 in Omaha, USA. "I am from Kansas, so I love getting that home support here and it is a great feeling," Holloway – who was a clear crowd favourite throughout the weekend as the audience cheered her and Pepita Con Spita on every step of the way – said after Saturday's exciting final. "I was hoping to go double clear tonight, but I made a few mistakes in the first round; my horse was super and should have been clear, but I was not. I knew I needed to fight for that clear round and that was what I did in the second round.”
With this photo special, we send our congratulations to Team Holloway!
