The Three Biggest Climbers

Olga vd Kruishoeve
+260

This nine-year-old mare only joined Simon Delestre’s stables in the latter part of the season but the pair have had fast success together. With multiple wins at 150-155 level on the World Cup circuit in Morocco and Verona, Olga quickly strengthened her Elo rating and now ranks among the Top 15 highest-rated nine-year-old horses in the world. 

Mansini Ltd 
+251

Richard Howley only competed Mansini Ltd internationally for the first time in February last year in Bordeaux. The pair set off on the right foot as they immediately took the win and the runner-up spot the following day. They continued their success throughout the season, especially at the Sunshine Tour in Vejer de la Frontera where they picked up three more victories at 150 level.

Deesse de Kerglenn
+214

Another young star that shot up the rankings after being paired with a new rider. Harrie Smolders took over the ride on this ten-year-old in April and the pair have picked up several podium places at 150 level.
