With her historic win at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event last month, Tamie Smith now takes a big leap in the FEI World Rankings to achieve her highest position yet at #5 overall. Her point accumulation from Kentucky bumps her from her previous position of eighth.
The reigning #1 and #2 remain unchanged at this ranking with New Zealand’s power duo Tim and Jonelle Price still ruling the roost. Great Britain’s Ros Canter — currently ranked #3 — has a good shot to overtake one of these spots soon, however, with her win at Badminton at the beginning of May (the current FEI Rankings are as of May 4, 2023).
With his second-place finish at Kentucky aboard JL Dublin, Great Britain’s Tom McEwen moves into the top ten at #6 overall, up from his previous ranking of 11th. Australia’s recent 5* winner at Adelaide, Shane Rose, also takes more than a handful of leaps in position to move from #19 to #9 overall.

For the U.S., Will Coleman is still within the top 10, though he loses some ground on this ranking to fall from #5 to #7, and we also welcome Liz Halliday-Sharp to the top 10, moving from #15 to #10 on the heels of a hot spring and a key podium finish at Kentucky onboard Miks Master C.
The newest rankings for FEI eventing riders will come out at the beginning of June to reflect Badminton results and other FEI points accumulated in the intervening weeks.
