For the sixth month in a row, Scotland’s Scott Brash holds onto his lead in the Longines World Ranking following his third place finish at the 2013/14 Longines World Cup Finals with Ursula XII, counting towards his lead. Scott Brash stays ahead of fellow British Olympic gold medalist Ben Maher, with only 436 points between them. Ludger Beerbaum and Ben Maher remain secure in position while USA’s Kent Farrington moves into World No.5 position after winning the second qualifying competition with Voyeur at the Longines World Cup Finals in Lyon, France only weeks ago.
France’s Patrice Delaveau and Germany’s Daniel Deusser also made big moves within the Top 10. Strong performances in the first two days of World Cup Finals competition has allowed Delaveau to move up to World No. 6 while World Cup Finals Champion Daniel Deusser moves from World No.10 to World No.7 after taking the biggest title of indoor competition for the season.
Despite having to lay low after the major auction for London, Gerco Schroder holds onto his World No. 17 position. Safe to say with the Glock Performance Team securing to two-time Olympic winning stallion, Schroder will be planning on moving up the World Rankings this year. The rider to move the most places within the World’s Top 50 was Dutchman Jeroen Dubbeldam, who moved up 5 spots to sit in 45th position.
