Leslie Law and Shear H20 are the early leaders of British Eventing’s rankings
Leslie Law has taken an early lead in the event rider rankings (up to 1 April) with 112 points, following open intermediate wins at Poplar Park and Lincolnshire. Pippa Funnell (107) is in second place but a nasty fall at Belton last weekend may see her drop in next month’s rankings. William Fox-Pitt is third with 106.
Shear H20 is leading the horse rankings (46), with Woodsides Ashby, ridden by Bettina Hoy, in second place (38). Jim Chromiak’s Headwind is third following a number of successful intermediate outings with Kristina Cook, who is 14th in the rider rankings.
