Not much has changed at the top as the year comes to an end; plus a look at where the Canadians stand in the top 100.

The Olympic medalist and horse owner was a longtime, staunch supporter of Canadian eventing, its horses and riders.

Jumping, dressage, para-dressage, eventing, driving and vaulting will take place at the German venue; Al Ula in KSA will host endurance.

The leaders hold fast to their spots at the top of the leaderboards, while others have made significant leaps up the world rankings.

The action got underway with the Henry Equestrian Canadian Show Jumping Championship and Mad Barn Indoor Eventing Challenge.

The Eventing Championships at the California venue have attracted entries from all over North America, including a Canadian contingent.

A strong Canadian team pushed the US back into 2nd place and scored just their third Pan Am Games eventing gold medal in 72 years.

European champion Rosalind Canter celebrated her second 5* win this year at the French fixture which saw cross-country day shake up the standings.

The Canadians advanced from third to first to win their first team gold since 1991; Lindsay Traisnel grabs the bronze medal.

The USA remains in the lead with Brazil second; only six of the 34 starters went double clear, with nine eliminated on course.
