>Ulla Salzgeber (GER) leads the FEI BCM World Dressage Riders Rankings with a score of 80.158.  Only one change in the Top Ten: Beatriz Ferrer-Salat (ESP) goes up one place and is now 4th with an improved score of 76.793.

The Spanish rider finished second in the Grand Prix and the Kür to music last week-end in Amsterdam on Beauvalais. 

Anky van Grunsven emerged victorious from a top class field in Amsterdam last week-end, winning her second FEI World Cup qualifying competition of the season. Van Grunsven's young horse Gestion Salinero, only nine years old, kept his head in a hot-house atmosphere to produce moments of brilliance in the 80 per cent-scoring test. Anky van Grunsven is still far away in the rankings (57) as she only has 9 results to count. No doubt that next month, we will find her very close to the top of the rankings.
