The lastest FEI Dressage World Rankings have been released, and it comes as no surprise that Isabell Werth and Weihegold OLD remain the number one combination. Isabell also holds third and fourth spots with Bella Rose and Emilio respectively.

Laura Graves and Verdades, who have enjoyed success on home soil at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival (AGDF) and booked a rematch with Isabell at the World Cup Final in Gothenburg, are a close second in the rankings. Fellow Americans Kasey Perry-Glass and Dublet, who have also produced some outstanding performances at the AGDF in recent weeks, are in fifth place — moving up from eighth the previous month.
Helen Langehanenberg and Damsey FRH, Charlotte Dujardin and Mount St John Freestyle, Dorothee Schneider and Sammy Davis Jr., Edward Gal and Glock’s Zonik, and Jessica Von Bredow-Werndl on TSF Dalera BB round out the top ten.
The highest ranked Australian combination is Kristy Oatley and Du Soleil in 37th (up from 39).

Mary Warren and Mindarah Park Raphael, who enjoyed great success at Willinga Park’s Dressage by the Sea, are now ranked at 250… up from 727! These rankings include results from 1 March 2018 – 28 February 2019, and therefore don’t include Mary’s results on the last few days of competition at Willinga Park where she won the Grand Prix Special and Freestyle CDI4*.
There are also a number of combinations who are no longer together, who hold high rankings — Alexis Hellyer and Bluefields Floreno are still at 98, Shannan Goodwin and Aristede are ranked at101, and Mary Hanna and Boogie Woogie are ranked at 151.
