Jamie Barge

Californian Jamie Barge has never let her lifelong hearing impairment impact her goals as a horsewoman. She’s risen to prominence in recent years aboard Luebbo, her quirky, talented partner in three World Cup Finals and in the biggest jumping competitions on her home turf, in Florida and in Europe. She may not hear the fans cheering for them on course, but she senses the electric atmosphere and excels in it. Jamie and her growing string of horses are based in Malibu, California.

"Luebbo had a little bit of a cough last summer. He'd cough once or twice when I started working him, then it would go away and come back. Ever since he's been on the Haygain, he hasn't coughed at all!”
