JUSTIN BURKE and John Mulvey, two self-professed ‘small breeders’, produced the top Irish-breds in Hippomundo’s 2020 rankings. Meanwhile, the Irish Sport Horse (ISH) studbook bounced back from fourth place in last year’s World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH) eventing rankings to retain its number one place on Hippomundo’s leaderboard.

Hippomundo’s highly-detailed rankings are based on prize money won by the performers recorded on its database, whereas the WBFSH rankings system is based on points gathered in FEI competitions.
