Anticipation is building for the FEI Vaulting World Cup™ Final, taking place outside Europe for the first time in Omaha, USA, from April 6th – 8th . Joining the world’s best in jumping and dressage for an epic week of competition, the top ranked vaulters will aim to ‘go large’ stateside to take home the title of champion.

Qualifying took place within the 2022 season and the top-ranked eight male and female individual vaulters, and five pas de deux combinations who accepted the invitation will make the journey to the midwest USA. The individual athletes will perform a technical test and those in the pas de deux will take part in two free tests over two days of competition. None of last year’s winners have chosen to return, leaving the floor completely open for new title holders. A flight has been chartered for six horses to fly from Europe to Nebraska, while the rest of the participants will partner with American horses and lungers.

Kimberly Palmer is one of the front-runners for the female title. She will hope to use her home ground advantage to improve on last year’s third-place finish. We can expect excellent artistry as she performs new technical and freestyle routines aboard Romeo, lunged by Christoph Lensing.
