In the WBFSH eventing studbook ranking, KWPN has maintained its fourth-place position since 2024. Holstein currently leads the ranking, followed by the Irish Sport Horse (ISH) and the British Sport Horse (SHBGB).

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 by success, and the results of the six best-performing horses count toward the WBFSH studbook ranking.

Zavall VDL
The KWPN owes this strong position largely to two outstanding descendants of Zavall VDL. Alongside Izilot DHI, winner of Luhmühlen and son of Zavall VDL (out of Zilottie W stb by Marlon, bred by Bert Wichers from Dedemsvaart), who ranks fourth, there is also Je’Vall in 54th place. This rising star (out of Wemillem reg. A prest by Corrado I, bred by Christ van Engelen from Gilze) is making impressive progress under French rider Alexis Goury and helped the French team secure bronze at the European Eventing Championships.

Olympic Federman B
The Olympic Federman B (Eurocommerce Washington out of Paulien B stb prest by Fedor, bred by Maatschap G. & G.F. Brinkman from Zutphen) ranks tenth, thanks to several strong results on home soil in the United States. High Time (Hemmingway out of Freckleton Maxima’s Mandolin by M, bred by A. Allen) holds 47th place following consistent performances at CCI4* and CCI5* level. Imposant (Namelus R out of Wendelien ster prest by Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve, bred by De Radstake from Varsseveld) appears in 52nd place, with solid results in Aachen, Boekelo, and additional U.S. competitions. Galileo Nieuwmoed (Carambole out of Sjaloma ster by Harcos, bred by J.W. and A.P. Jurrius from Vorden) rounds out the ranking in 72nd position.
