Team Rankings
The final rankings of the 2025 FEI Dressage World Challenge have been published and we are proud to announce another runner up team ranking for LIVAMOL Team NZL – Philippa Mcleod /Donneregal, Nicki Ford /Fernando MH, Kirsty Schist /Epiton MD, Rebecca Lawrence/Don Darciano RS
It appeared right up until the final rankings publication that NZL might take the win but when China’s team score (254.118) from May 2025 was finally on line, NZL finished a very creditable runner up (247.25) in both the Zone 8 (5 teams – CHN, HKG, NZL, RSA, TPE) ranking_2025_Dressage_Zone_8_Team and the World (30 teams ranking_2025_Dressage_World_Team)
China only fielded combinations at Prix St Georges level and what a great performance they put up with their three team scores to count, also taking the top three placings individually in the PSG. The Chinese competition was judged by Sue HOBSON : Dressage – FEI Judge Level 3 (NZL), Peixin HUAI : Dressage – FEI Judge Level 1 (CHN)
Judges for the NZL section were Col Sunil Shivdas(India) FEl Judge Level 3, and Robin Friend (NZL List A)
A huge thanks to our NZL sponsors and Dressage Marlborough & Marlborough Equestrian Park for their support in making this such a memorable and successful event
