Click here for complete F.E.I. (International Equestrian Federation) World Rider Rankings, as of January 31, 2012

Rider rankings are tabulated by the International Equestrian Federation (usually during the first ten days of each month) and are based on performances in the twelve-month period prior to the end of the calendar month just ended.

The top-twenty Canadian show jumping riders, in accordance with their ranking on the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) World Rider Rankings, as at January 31, 2012. Riders are ranked by their performances in FEI-sanctioned competition. They are ranked by the rider's points only, not rider/horse combination.

• As of the end of January 2012 Eric Lamaze continues to lead the Canadian rankings and maintains the #2  position in the world. Germany's Ludger Beerbaum is close behind Lamaze and both are in the heat of busy seasons, with lots of F.E.I. points on the line, in different geographic regions. Former #3 in the world, American McLain Ward, dropped to #5, as he is out of action for up to 5 months following a serious injury early in the Winter Equestrian Festival.
   
• There is not much change in the order of Canadians on the list with a couple of exceptions. John Pearce by-passed Yann Candele by a nose to move into 5th position. Jonathan Asselin moved just ahead of Angela Covert Lawrence to take over 9th spot. 

• There are actually 21 riders on the top-20 list, due to ties.
