RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – UC Davis equestrian head coach and alum
Jill Humphrey will take her Aggie Pride and talents on the international stage when she competes for U.S. Equestrian at the 2024 FEI World Cup Finals.
Â
The finals are set to run from April 16-20. Humphrey specifically will be representing U.S. Jumping.
Â
"I'm so excited for this opportunity," said Humphrey. "It's a huge honor to ride for and represent U.S. Jumping, and I'm so grateful to be paired with Branscomb Farms' wonderful horse, Chromatic BF."
Â
A 2004 graduate, Humphrey is in her second season as head coach, and sixth year on the coaching staff.
Â
"UC Davis, the equestrian team, and the athletics department have been so supportive throughout this journey," said Humphrey. "They've been asking when and where they can watch the livestream, and it's such a warm feeling to have that Aggie Pride continue throughout the experience."
Â
Humphrey and Chromatic BF qualified for the World Cup Finals back in the fall, despite having a short time together. "I started riding this amazing horse just about a year ago, and the partnership came together quickly enough that we were ready for the World Cup qualifying season back in the fall," recalled Humphrey. "It's been an incredible journey and I'm so thankful for the opportunity."
Â
Humphrey and Chromatic begin their competition on April 17.
