Dressage: Laudrup-Dufour holds on as number one
Denmark’s Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour, who took over as world number one in the end-March rankings, has held onto her top spot after maintaining a 100% strike rate with six wins from six starts this season. The three-time Olympian, who led Denmark to team silver in Paris 2024, remains comfortably out in front, but there’s a new understudy immediately behind her, with a former rankings leader Charlotte (Lottie) Fry (GBR) up two places to second. Justin Verboomen (BEL), European champion and standout star of 2025 who posted an impressive double with Zonik Plus at last month’s French 5* in Fontainebleau, close behind in third after dropping one place. Germany’s Isabell Werth is also down a slot in fourth, ahead of the FEI World Cup™ Final podium topper Becky Moody (GBR).
Among the horses, it’s no surprise to see Mount St John Freestyle mirroring her partner Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour’s hold on the number one spot after the pair posted a back-to-back double of wins on their two outings this season at the Herning 5* and Hagen 4*. The mare is well clear of two stallions, Glamourdale (Charlotte Fry, GBR) in second and Zonik Plus (Justin Verboomen, BEL) down a place to third. Wendy de Fontaine (Isabell Werth, GER) has also dropped one rung to fourth, with FEI World Cup™ Final winner Jagerbomb (Becky Moody, GBR) holding fifth.
Brittany Fraser-Beaulieu continues to lead the Canadians in 25th place, with Camille Carier Bergeron moving up to 63rd. Alexandra Duncan has slipped out the top 100 and now sits 111th. Erin Silo, who debuted at 233rd with her partner Jett last month, continues her upward trend and is now 183rd.
Para-Dressage: USA dominance continues
The USA’s Paris 2024 Paralympic Games leading lady Fiona Howard (Grade II) remains untouched at the top of the Para Dressage world individual rankings and has now been joined in second by fellow American Kate Shoemaker (Grade IV). Heidemarie Dresing (GER) is down one slot in third, while Britain’s Mari Durward-Akhurst, having gone through the Grade I card at Hartpury (GBR) last month, is up a place to fourth.
Jody Schloss continues her upward momentum, and has moved from 29th to 24th ahead of Roberta Sheffield (33rd).
Eventing: Meade’s lead slims down
Great Britain’s Harry Meade, who finished just outside the top-10 in last month’s Lexington 5* with Superstition in 12th, is still out in front in the world rankings, but the chasing pack is getting closer. And there’s a new face heading that following group in New Zealand’s Tim Price, who has moved up from fourth to second after partnering his 2025 Aachen winner Vitaly to fourth on the Kentucky bluegrass. Double Olympic team gold medallist and European champion Laura Collett (GBR) is steady in third ahead of her Paris 2024 teammate Ros Canter, up one slot to fourth. The USA’s Boyd Martin, second at the end of March, has dropped to fifth.
Jessica Phoenix, who was the only Canadian entry in the CCI4*-S at Kentucky last month, is still the top Canadian, now 76th. Waylon Roberts has eased back into the top 100 at 96th.
Driving: Canadian number one in Singles Again
There’s a familiar name at the head of the Singles rankings, with Kelly Bruder back in the world number one slot she vacated in September last year. After a fourth-place finish with Backstage CQ (‘Claus’) at the French 3* in Selestat, the points earned boosted the Canadian six places to take the narrow lead over Anne Unzeitig (GER), up from fourth. Former leader Marion Vignaud is a single point behind in third. The face at the front of the Four-in-Hand rankings is probably even more well-known, with Australia’s Boyd Exell still unchallenged. Dries Degrieck (BEL) has overtaken Bram Chardon (NED) for second, although the two drivers are tied on points.
