King Edward sits on top of the list with a total of 2359 points. 

Ben Maher's Faltic HB (Baltic VDL x Concorde), a 12-year-old KWPN stallion bred by H.A. Brinkman and M. Huisman, is 2022's second highest ranked horse with 2017 points, while Conor Swail's Count Me In (Count Grannus x Sherlock Holmes), a 15-year-old Hanoverian gelding bred by Friedrich Luessmann, is no. three with 1810 points. Rank four is Maikel van der Vleuten's Beauville Z (Bustique x Jumpy des Fontaines), a 12-year-old Zangersheide gelding bred by Pascal Habets.
