Taking a look at the eventing breeder rankings, the horses in the first four places are three thoroughbreds and one thoroughbred-cross.

The Thoroughbred is a unique and versatile breed that has influenced modern sport horse breeding worldwide. After the Covid-19 pushed the pause button on the world in the second quarter of 2020, this week the WBFSH World Rankings that are published on a monthly basis have finally kicked off again
