Kristen Vanderveen’s Bull Run’s Jireh (born Uno 56, Uriko x Colman) – bred by Timm Peters – opens the WBFSH Breeder Rankings for 2026 on top with 1146 points. The 12-year-old Holsteiner gelding, that also has been leading the way on the FEI Combination in Jumping Ranking with Vanderveen for the last two months, is followed by Nina Mallevaey’s Selle Français mare Dynastie de Beaufour (Diamant de Semilly x Cassini II) – bred by Eric Levallois – in second with 1020 points.
