The FEI oversees around 70 Rankings and Standings across all the disciplines, from World Rankings calculated on a monthly basis for Athletes, Horses and/or Combinations, to league, team and regional based standings for Series such as the Longines League of Nations™, FEI World Cup™ and FEI Nations Cup™. The FEI rankings also include a variety of youth categories, which will be featured separately later this month.

Longines Rankings: Scott Brash stays out in front

Scott Brash, Team GB’s double Olympic gold medallist from London 2012 and Paris 2024, retains his lead in the Longines Jumping Rankings, and the gap between the Scottish athlete and the USA’s Kent Farrington, the man he deposed from the world number one slot at the end of January, has widened considerably from the 44 points that separated the pair in the end-January rankings. Brash tops the table on 3,477, with Farrington now sitting 241 points behind on 3,236.

Ben Maher, a triple gold Olympian for Team GB, is a further 176 points off the pace in third on 3,060 in an unchanged top three, but there’s a newcomer immediately behind that trio. Richard Vogel (GER), the 2025 European champion, has moved up two slots with 3,022 points to relegate both Gilles Thomas (BEL – 3,019) and Christian Kukuk (GER – 2,966). Nina Mallevaey (FRA) continues her drive for the top, up one in seventh on 2,885 points to hold onto her world number one female athlete title. The top-10 is completed by Julien Epaillard (FRA – 2,881), Shane Sweetnam (IRL – 2,794) and McLain Ward (USA – 2,791).

Longines League of Nations™ Ranking: Team USA holds strong

Team USA is still the one to beat at the top of the Longines League of Nations™ ranking, with its latest tally of 15,253 increasing its advantage to 769 points over second-placed Belgium on 14,484. Great Britain, fifth in the previous rankings, is now up to third on 14,142, with France stable in fourth on 14,072. Team Ireland, which was third in the end-January standings, is now down to fifth on 14,019. There is no further reshuffling among the next five nations, with Germany (13,524), Netherlands (11,591), Switzerland (11,107), Italy (10,369) and Brazil (9,563) all holding onto their placings to complete the top-10.

FEI Dressage World Ranking – Athletes: Verboomen still a whisper ahead of Werth

Belgium’s double European gold medalist Justin Verboomen still reigns supreme at the head of the rankings after a successful raid on Neumünster (GER) last month, with a win in the Grand Prix and second in the Freestyle on Djembe de Hus OLD. Verboomen sits on 1,846 points, but his nearest rival, Isabell Werth (GER) has now closed the gap to just nine points after scoring a double with Special Blend 3 at last month’s FEI World Cup™ qualifier in Wellington, Florida.

Reigning FEI World Cup™ champion Charlotte Fry (1,801 points) and fellow Briton Becky Moody (1,786) hold onto third and fourth, but their silver medal team-mate from last year’s Europeans, Carl Hester, has slid from fifth to 93rd, despite winning both last month’s Doha Grand Prix and Freestyle with his Crozet partner Fame. The vacancy has been filled by Patrik Kittel (SWE – 1,547), up two places, while Belgium’s two-time Olympian Larissa Pauluis has now passaged her way up into the top-10, up six places to sixth on 1,542. Maria von Essen (SWE – 1,541) has climbed three places to seventh, ahead of Isabel Freese (NOR – 1,519) and Christian Simonson (USA – 1,507), who remain eighth and ninth. Germany’s Raphael Netz is up three places to 10th on 1,500.

FEI Dressage World Ranking – Horses: Werth’s Wendy de Fontaine takes over at top

Wendy de Fontaine, the mare partnered to Paris 2024 Olympic team gold and individual silver by Germany’s Isabell Werth, has taken over at the top of the horse rankings on 1,835 points. Former world number one Zonik Plus has yet to make his 2026 seasonal debut after winning double gold for Belgium’s Justin Verboomen at last year’s Europeans, and as a result has dropped from first to 27th, but the super-stallion was clearly in top form at a non-competition outing in Lier (BEL) last week. His absence from the top-10 has allowed Glamourdale (Lottie Fry, GBR) up into second on 1,801 points, ahead of another British campaigner Jagerbomb in third for Becky Moody with 1,786. Touchdown (Patrik Kittel, SWE) is fourth on 1,547, just five points clear of Flambeau, who has moved from 11th to fifth for Larissa Pauluis (BEL). Biggest mover is eighth-placed Djembe de Hus OLD, up from 117th after his Neumünster double with Justin Verboomen.

FEI Eventing World Athlete Ranking: Harry Meade still world number one

The sharp-end of the 2026 Eventing season is only just getting underway with the year’s first long format 4* at Mata do Duque in Portugal this week, so it’s no surprise that there are no changes at the head of the Eventing rankings, with Britain’s Harry Meade still in the lead on 588 points. Meade sits 51 clear of second-placed Boyd Martin (USA), who held the number one slot for the first time back in May of last year after finishing second in Kentucky and claiming an unheard of one-two-three in the US National Championship. Laura Collett (GBR), whose CV includes Paris 2024 Olympic team gold and individual bronze plus last year’s European title, is third on 469, ahead of Tim Price (NZL – 455) and new two-time mum Ros Canter (GBR – 453). Britain has four athletes in the world’s top-10, with both the USA and NZL double-handed, while Belgium and Germany have one apiece.

FEI Para Dressage World Individual & Team: Howard and USA still unchallenged

There are some interesting changes within the Para Dressage individual top-10, although long-time rankings leader Fiona Howard is still out in front to keep Team USA at the top of the tree too. The Grade II athlete, who made a clean sweep of the Paris 2024 Paralympic medals with a triple gold medal haul on Diamond Dunes, continues to lead the individuals on 1,619 points, but her closest rival, Italy’s Sara Morganti (Grade I), has dropped out of the top-50 and is now in 51st with 1,030 points. That has allowed Heidemarie Dressing (GER – 1,514) to move up into second ahead of Kate Shoemaker (USA – 1,496). In the teams, the USA’s total of 1,339 points keeps them ahead of Great Britain (1,326), with Germany up to third on 1,300.

FEI Driving World Rankings – Four-in-Hand / Pairs / Singles: Exell continues to excel

Multi-medallist Boyd Exell continues to head the Four-in-Hand rankings, despite finishing an unexpected third in last month’s FEI World Cup™ Final in Bordeaux. Now on 218 points, the Australian has a 37-point lead over Bram Chardon (NED). Stan van Eijk (NED) maintains his lead at the top of the Pairs rankings on 112 points, while Marion Vignaud (FRA) stays out in front in the Singles on 77 points. But there’s a new face in the top-10: after posting two podium finishes with Loretta since the start of the year, the USA’s Andrew Marcoux has moved up from 18th to 10th.

FEI Endurance Riders &Trainer World Rankings: Theolissat holds advantage

Frenchwoman Melody Theolissat, who led Team France to gold when taking individual bronze with Yalla de Jalima at the 2024 world championships in Monpazier (FRA), has maintained her advantage in the rider rankings, leading on 1,089 points. Her compatriot May Manifacier moves up from fifth to second after a seventh-place finish from 90 starters at last month’s 3*-160-kilometre ride at Al Ula (KSA). Tragically, French-based Argentinian Yair Manno, whose last outing was a win with Bar Diamond Ignition at the Portuguese 160k in Sines in December which put him second in the new year Rankings, passed away in January when swept out to sea while holidaying in Argentina. Our thoughts remain with his family and friends.
