Gennaro Lendi, Anna Lisec and Margaux Legrand world number one!

CM | Reining – Every month the FEI publishes the current ranking in the Olympic disciplines dressage, showjumping, vaulting, eventing and reining. The last FEI reining show took place in August. That’s why the end of the year results have already been published and with Anna Lisec (Lower Austria), Celina Bachleitner (Lower Austria) and Martin Muehlstaetter three Austrians are under the top ten in every age group.

With 40 points Anna Lisec (Austria) finished the FEI reining season 2016 as the best Young Rider ahead of Germany’s Gina Schumacher (38 points) and Franziska Eufinger (35 points).

The Junior Ranking  is led by Margaux Legrand (France) with 52 points ahead of Maria Baralon (France) ahead of European Reining Champion 2016 Celina Bachleitner (Austria).

FEI World Champion Gennaro Lendi (Italy) finished this years Senior FEI reining season with 64 points ahead of Bastien Bourgeois (France/52 points) and Helene Hokkanen (Switzerland/52 Punkte). Austrias Martin Muehlstaetter ended up on eighth place, being the best Austrian FEI reiner (38 points).

What is the FEI Ranking Reining worth?

Every riders dream is a top placing in the FEI ranking in the classic disciplines dressage, showjumping, eventing and vaulting. For reiners this is somewhat different. The FEI updates the rankings monthly, but the reining ranking has only been updated four times this year.

When EQWO.net interviewed Gennaro Lendi, who’d already led the FEI ranking ahead of the FEI World Championships in Givrins, (11.-13.08.2016) he said: „What ranking are you talking about? I’ve never heard of it, where can I find that ranking?“ Only hours later he became World Champion 2016.

The Americans didn’t even send their top riders to the World Championships in Givrins.

For 2017 there are 14 FEI shows planned around the world. In comparison there will be 691 FEI showjumping events, 170 dressage shows, 260 eventing competitions and 32 vaulting tournaments.
