Well, folks, it’s time to present the March results of the Eventing Nation Power Ranking. Thanks to almost five thousand votes from the EN population, the public poll came down to a very close finish, and with a little insight from our expert panelists, and tallying of the votes by the Chinchillas, the Power Ranking for both the US and Canada’s best riders is now complete.
Phillip Dutton and Mystery Whisper sure delivered this month after great performances in March, to steal away second place in the ranking from Sinead and Tate, who dropped to third. Mr. Medicott inched up the leader board from last month, moving from fifth to fourth, with Clark Montgomery and Loughan Glen just behind.
This month we chose to split the American and Canadian ranking, thanks to several suggestions from all of you, in hopes that it will make the ranking list more coherent. We’ll be adding in more Canadians to the list as time goes on, so excuse the slightly skimpy version right now.
Without further ado, here is your ranking list.
