Jill Humphrey, who has always been a
force in the hunters and equitation divisions, stormed onto the jumper
circuit in 2005. Meeting Rudy through her longtime trainer, Alison
Sherred, Jill began competing on some of the sales horses. Jill was
paired with great horses, including Riva 49, and Nieuw Dehli. Those two
horses helped her earn 2005 PCHA “Rookie” Grand Prix Rider of the Year,
and the Northern California Triple Crown series with many consistent
placings. The following year brought along new horses, including her
World Cup mount, Kaskaya and Equistar, LLC’s Landor B. As she got to
know her new rides, she consistently placed, winning her first grand
prix on Landor B in Pebble Beach and later that year winning her first
World Cup qualifier with Kaskaya. Continuing the winning streak in 2007
led to PCHA Grand Prix Rider of the Year, qualifying and competing in
the 2007 World Cup Finals, as the highest point earner for the west
coast, along with winning the Jimmy Kohn Style of Riding award at HITS
Thermal. One of her proudest moments to this day is representing the
United States as the alternate for the Pan America Games.
