After spending several months at the top of the FEI world rankings, Ros Canter has now been unseated by fellow Paris Olympics team gold winner Tom McEwen in the latest update.
Tom’s been on a bit of a hot streak this summer, and as ranking points generally run slightly behind, his two second-place finishes at Luhmühlen — one in the CCI5* with CHF Cooliser and one in the CCI4*-S with JL Dublin — helped the two-time Olympic medalist climb from his previous ranking of third in the world. His current 561 point count gives him a good cushion over Ros Canter, who now sits second with 519 points accrued.
Great Britain’s Oliver Townend drops from second to third on this update, and Belgium’s Lara de Liedekerke-Meier retains her fourth-place position.

Boyd Martin remains the top-ranked U.S. rider, moving up a spot to claim fifth in the world with 458 points accumulated.
The FEI ranking rules for eventing factor in the number of starters in a field and points are accumulated on a rolling basis annually, meaning points from this time in 2023 will now have dropped off for these riders. You can take a dive into the ranking rules here.
