For a third consecutive month, Simon Delestre's ride Chesall Zimequest (Casall x Concerto II) tops the 2016 WBFSH Rolex World Ranking List for breeders of showjumping horses. The 11-year-old Holsteiner gelding bred by Günther Schüder topped both the April and May-ranking, and is also the head liner of the June-ranking released this week. Chesall Zimequest has collected a total of 1375 points in the period of 1st of October 2015 to 30th of June 2016. 

On 1215 points follows Kent Farrington's ride Gazelle (Kashmir van't Schuttershof x Indoctro), a 10-year-old BWP mare bred by Werner Hyeninkx-Van Hoornick. Like last month, rank three is the 10-year-old KWPN gelding Bintang II (Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve x Orlando) seen under Laura Renwick and bred by E.J.M. Bleekman but this time around he has to share the spot with Hello Forever (For Pleasure x Nimmerdor). The 10-year-old Oldenburger gelding ridden by Scott Brash and bred by Stoeterij Ariane, is up one spot on the June-ranking. New as rank five is Edwina Tops-Alexander's Lintea Tequila (Campell x Corrado II), a 13-year-old Holsteiner-mare bred by Eric Schöning. 

For the studbooks, BWP makes another step up this month to the very top of the rankings. The studbook has Gazelle as it's best representative, joined by Flora de Mariposa (For Pleasure x Powerlight) and First Class van Eeckelghem (Balou du Rouet x Feinschintt I van de Richter) as the three best BWP representatives.

The Holsteiner Verband is down to rank two this month, with Chesall Zimequest, Lintea Tequila and Cool and Easy (Contender x Riverman) as their three best representatives.

Studbook Zangersheide remains rank three, with HH Carlos Z (Chellano Z x Voltaire), Atlantis (Andiamo x Royal Bravour) and Casallo Z (Casall x Carthago Z) as their three top horses.
