Compared to 2024, KWPN show jumping breeders have climbed significantly in the WBFSH studbook ranking. Dutch show jumping breeders now hold third place, behind the French Selle Français studbook and Holstein.

The WBFSH rankings are based on results achieved between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025. Horses can earn points at all international FEI competitions. They are ranked according to their success, and the results of the six best-performing horses are counted toward the WBFSH studbook ranking.
