Jamie Winning-Kermond will step onto one of the biggest stages in the sport for the very first time, confirmed as a definite entry for the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Final in Fort Worth, Texas from April 8–12, with Tulara Wat Colblensky “Juno”, owned by Rachel Peel.

Her qualification comes off the back of a strong Australian World Cup League campaign, where she finished second overall behind Phillip Lever and Billionaire NZPH. Across the series, Jamie and Tulara Wat Colblensky proved themselves as one of the most reliable combinations in the country, delivering results when it mattered and staying firmly in contention throughout the season.

That result carries real weight. The Australian league is demanding, not just in the level of competition but in the consistency required across multiple rounds. Finishing second is a reflection of a partnership that has been carefully produced and a rider who continues to deliver under pressure, with the season ultimately won by Phillip Lever and Billionaire NZPH in a closely fought league.

Importantly, her World Cup Final qualification also comes on the back of a strong international showing, having recently represented Australia in the Nations Cup in Wellington. Competing in that environment,adds another layer of preparation and confidence as she heads towards Fort Worth. It is experience that cannot be replicated and one that will stand her in good stead heading into her first Final.

The World Cup Final in Fort Worth will feature an exceptionally strong field, including Olympians, former World Cup champions and many of the sport’s leading international combinations. Definite entries can be viewed HERE. It is a level of competition that reflects the very top of the sport, and one that provides a significant step up from domestic competition.

For Jamie, this will be her first experience at a World Cup Final, and there is something special in that. It is not just about the result, but about reaching a stage that represents the highest level of indoor jumping competition in the world. It is a chance to once again test herself and Juno and gain more valuable experience in an important year leading up to the World Championships in Aachen in August.

Australia will be right behind her as she takes on her first World Cup Final in Fort Worth, wishing Jamie and Tulara Wat Colblensky the very best.
