While January is usually a month of no change on the FEI Eventing Rankings, the introduction of new categories in the Young Rider, Under 25 and Junior World Rankings mean that there is some shuffling done at the start of the year.
Whilst there are no competitions in January to affect the rankings, the start of the new year mean that some athletes become ineligible to rank in certain categories. And so, while the FEI Eventing World Rankings for Seniors remains the same as at the end of 2025, we have new leaders in all three of the new categories.
