Ginger Kennett invited to Vaulting World Cup in Basel, Switzerland

After a great year of competition in 2024, Australian Vaulter Ginger Kennett has been invited by the FEI to compete at the Vaulting World Cup in Basel, Switzerland from 2 - 6 April 2025 and has accepted this offer. Whilst we have had other athletes invited to compete previously, they had to withdraw due to injury, so Ginger will be the first to represent Australia at the Finals.

Equestrian Australia caught up with Ginger who says about this exciting competition ahead, "I am absolutely delighted and honoured to be competing at the 2024 World Cup Final in Basel, Switzerland.

I am very proud to be representing Australia as the first ever Australian Vaulter to compete in the World Cup Final and to be highlighting Australian Vaulting on the world stage at this prestigious event - it really is the icing on the cake for me after such a wonderful 2024 season. 

My journey will begin in early March where I will continue my training in Germany with my amazing Vaulting family. I feel so privileged to have such a great supportive team in Germany, my Lunger Jacqui and her beautiful boy Goldjunge (Goldie) who I am in awe of. I have such a great relationship with Goldie and I am beyond excited to be back training with this team, who have made me feel so at home. I am also so grateful to my coach Kristina Boe (Tina) who has given me so much support and has truly inspired me to think outside the box and dream up my routines to make it all come to life. She is one of my biggest inspirations, and I am really looking forward to showcasing what we have been planning and training for. 

We will travel to France together for CVI Saumur  and onward to Basel.

It’s going to be busy and filled with hard work, but I feel like I am very steady with my preparation heading into summer here in Australia before the upcoming Great Southern CVI to be held 20-23 February at Sydney International Equestrian Centre where I will compete on my own horse Fürst Maximus lunged by my mum Georgie."

Please join us in wishing Ginger the very best for the year ahead.
