There’s more to greatness than medals. Behind every achievement lies a story of sacrifice, ambition, and the quiet strength that fuels relentless progress.

With EMPOWER ACHIEVERS, KASK celebrates those who don’t just compete. They redefine what it means to excel. This series shines a light on athletes whose values align with ours: excellence, performance and respect. For the sport, the process and the partner they ride with.

Confidence doesn’t appear overnight. It takes shape in the background of daily routines, in the details no one talks about, in the mindset that grows one thoughtful step at a time.

For Kent Farrington, currently the World #1 in show jumping, confidence is something you build with discipline, focus, and trust in the process.

“What empowers me, I think, is confidence. And I think confidence, both in yourself and in your horse, comes from time and practice.”

His words capture the essence of his approach: a steady, intentional rhythm that strengthens both rider and horse, ride after ride, day after day.

In this new episode of KASK Empower Achievers, Kent Farrington opens up about what it really means to stay committed to the work, to the connection, and to the mindset that fuels consistent growth.

His path is defined by a bold and uncompromising attitude toward progress. Challenges aren’t obstacles, but opportunities. Each one part of a bigger journey of learning, adjusting, and evolving.

“A lot of lessons come from the failures along the way, and that’s what makes you better in the end.”

This perspective - clear, resilient, and fearless - turns every setback into a moment of learning. It reveals the mindset of an athlete who’s always developing, and who knows how to take ownership of his performance without ever compromising his values.

Kent’s pursuit of performance, both in sport and in life, is what sets him apart. He’s driven by the desire to keep improving, to follow his own path, and to represent what it truly means to move with purpose. He rides with the goal to keep growing, no matter what lies ahead.
