Video/gallery: Leading rider heads British Eventing rankings, plus a look back at a fantastic season

By Jenny Rudall on 26th-Oct-2011



The end of the eventing season is here, and what a season it has been! Team GBR has been on great form this year, but the leading rider for the 2011 British Eventing season is New Zealand's Andrew Nicholson, with 2307 points. 

Andrew finished more than 200 points clear of William Fox-Pitt in second, while Oliver Townend finished third in the British Eventing rankings.

The H&C team reported from most of the major events in 2011, so we thought we would look back at some of our favourite interviews, songs and pictures from the season.  

The leading riders and horses in terms of British Eventing points, at the end of the 2011 British Eventing season have been calculated and the top five of each table are as follows. 

Top Riders

1st - Mr Andrew Nicholson 2307 points
2nd - Mr William Fox-Pitt 2103 points
3rd - Mr Oliver Townend 1562 points
4th - Miss Piggy French 1203 points
5th - Mrs Mary King 1147 points

Top Horses

1st - JAKATA owned by Mr Wally French, Mr Michael Underwood, 383 points
2nd - KINGS TEMPTRESS owned by Mr Derek Rostron Baden, 369 points
3rd - OSLO owned by the Fox-Pitt Eventing Partnership, 354 points
4th - MR CRUISE CONTROL owned by Mr Andrew Nicholson, Mrs Nicola Salmon & Mr Robin E A Salmon, 349 points
5th - NEREO owned by Mrs Deborah Sellar, 346 points

We couldn't leave out Oliver Townend - but our favourite piece from him has to be the song written about him and Geoff Billington on their Champions tour.
