Donatello d’Auge (breeder: Susana Epaillard Garcia Cereceda) remains number one on the WBFSH jumping ranking. The 12-year-old gelding stays ahead of Timm Peters’ bred Bull Run’s Jireh (formerly Uno 56, Uriko x Colman). Kristen Vanderveen’s gelding pushes Kim Emmen’s KWPN gelding, Imagine (Cassini GOLD x Lord Z), down to third place.

Conny Viscaal’s KWPN horse remains ahead of United Touch S (Untouched x Lux Z, breeder: Julius-Peter Sinnack) in the WBFSH ranking. In fifth place we find the KWPN gelding Incredible (Clinton x Heartbreaker), bred by the Bosch brothers.

Best Belgian-bred showjumper? That title goes to Harrie Smolders’ BWP gelding, Mr. Tac (formerly Mister Tac des Fusains, breeder: E. Meyers).

Belgian riders and Donatello give SF studbook leading position

Thanks to Donatello d’Auge, but also Gilles Thomas (BEL)’s Ermitage Kalone (Catoki) and Gregory Wathelet (BEL)’s Bond Jamesbond de Hay (Diamant de Semilly), the Selle Français is able to maintain its top position.

The Dutch KWPN studbook follows in second place, with Kim Emmen (NED)’s Imagine (Cassini GOLD) and Daniel Coyle (IRL)’s Incredible (Clinton) as its best ambassadors. The top three is completed by the German Holsteiner Verband, with Bull Run’s Jireh (Uriko) as its best representative, alongside Harrie Smolders (NED)’s Monaco N.O.P. (Cassini II).

Former number one, the BWP studbook, currently holds fourth place.
