As we coast into the final months of 2025, we’ve got a refreshed FEI Eventing World Rankings list to peruse, and there’s not likely much that will change between now and the start of the 2026 season. To that end, it’s looking like Harry Meade will retain his World #1 position to start the year. Harry first obtained the spot in May and has held it ever since, amassing 588 points thanks to his strong FEI finishes (including several 5* podium finishes with multiple horses).

Shameless plug: We caught up with Harry on the most recent episode of The Go Eventing Podcast! Pick his brain with us here (or on your preferred podcast platform).

After spending the month of April as World #1, Boyd Martin (USA) now rises again, this time from fifth to second thanks to his competitive fall season that saw him win the US Equestrian Open of Eventing and finish on the podium at both Maryland 5 Star and Pau.

2025 FEI Eventing European Champion Laura Collett (GBR) will retain her #3 spot heading into the end of the year, and Tim Price (NZL) rises from sixth to fourth in the world thanks in large part to his Pau victory with Jarillo at the end of October. 2025 Defender Burghley champ Ros Canter (GBR) will likely end the year in fifth overall.

We also welcome Cosby Green (USA) to the top 10, shooting up from 19th in October to 10th in November with 360 points accumulated. Cosby’s enjoyed the fruits of a busy season as she not only continues to gain experience at the 5* level with her top two horses but also has a strong string of younger horses who are beginning to get to the upper levels. Will Coleman (USA) also reps the U.S. in the top 20, moving up from 44th in October to 20th thanks also to his busy and successful fall season.

Other notables: Sam Lissington (NZL) continued her hot streak into the fall and earned enough additional points to move up once more, from ninth to seventh. Felix Vogg (SUI) rockets from 56th to 13th overall thanks to his MARS Maryland 5 Star win with Cartania in October. French rider Benjamin Massie also shoots up from 53rd to 14th thanks to strong finishes at Le Lion and Pau.
