But Farrington won the $400,000 Grand Prix in Kentucky on April 26 while von Eckermann wasn't in the top 10, and that may give him enough points to finally move into the lead.

Olympic Champion Christian Kukuk of Germany was third with 3,008 points, while Ben Maher was fourth on 2,957 points and Switzerland’s Steve Guerdat dropped to fifth with 2,956 points.

Max Kühner of Austria with 2,818 points was sixth after ascending two spots, followed by Martin Fuchs of Switzerland with 2,788 points, who dropped three positions, Richard Vogel of Germany with 2,763 points and Simon Delestre of France with 2,715 points. 

McLain Ward dropped three positions with 2,709 points.

In the League of Nations Ranking, after two months at the top, USA with 14,066 points consolidated its position as leader of the ranking, cemented by its victory on home soil in Ocala in the second leg of the League of Nations 2025.

Ireland with 13,815 points remained close to the leaders, only 241 points behind, while Germany was third, on 13,324 points.

There was no movements from fourth to 10th: France, 13,128 points, Belgium, 12,759 points, Great Britain, 12,234 points, Netherlands, 11,254 points, Switzerland, 11,172 points, Italy, 10,726 points and Sweden, 9,902 points.

 

IN EVENTING World Rider Ranking, Great Britain's dominance remained undisputed, with four riders in the top five.

Tom McEwen, 552 points, remained the leader, with Tim Price of New Zealand with 536 points second, ahead of Rosalind Canter of Great Britain, third with 487 points, Harry Meade of Great Britain with 416 points and World Champion Yasmin Ingham of Great Britain with 392 points.

But Boyd Martin, who was 10th, finished second, sixth and seventh in Kentucky, while Michael Jung of Germany,who was 12, won Kentucky, meaning both will move up in rankings.

In Para Dressage World Individual & Team Ranking, Team USA stayed strong in the Rankings: Fiona Howard with 2,156 points and Team USA with 1,376 points maintained the lead in both Individual and Team rankings.

Sara Morganti of Italy stayed second on 2114 points, and Rebecca Hart stayed third on 2,105 points.
