Last week saw the publication of the latest Longines FEI World Rankings in which Irish show jumpers were strongly represented in the top 100.
This feat comes after Irish competitors enjoyed an excellent run of forms over the last three months at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Florida. Twelve Irish show jumpers are now ranked in the top 100.
Under the new COVID-19 rankings policy, which came into effect 12 months ago, the results counted are from the period of 1 March 2019 to 31 March 2021.
After first entering the top 10 in November 2019, Darragh Kenny has managed to stay there since and is still the highest-ranked Irish rider, in ninth place, sitting just behind Britain’s Scott Brash, who has spent the first four months of the year competing in Europe and Qatar.
