In Major League Show Jumping (MLSJ), the action doesn’t stop when the team competition wraps up—individual points tell an equally thrilling story. This season’s leaderboard is as competitive as ever, with some of the sport’s biggest names separated by just a few key rounds. Every ride has the potential to shuffle the standings, and the race for individual glory is heating up.
1. Kent Farrington – 40 points
Currently sitting at the top, Kent Farrington continues to showcase why he’s one of the most formidable riders on the circuit. His consistency, speed, and ability to deliver under pressure have given him a strong advantage, but with plenty of shows left on the calendar, he’ll need to stay sharp to protect his lead.
2. Daniel Bluman – 33 points
Just behind Farrington, Daniel Bluman is proving himself as a major threat. With 33 points, Bluman is riding with momentum and confidence, keeping the pressure on and making it clear that he has his sights set on overtaking the top spot.
3. Lillie Keenan – 27 points
Not far off in third place, Lillie Keenan has been a model of consistency this season. With 27 points, she’s firmly in the hunt and poised to take advantage of any slip-ups from the leaders. Keenan’s precision and tactical riding have made her one of the most reliable contenders in the standings.
4. Julien Anquetin – 17 points
France’s Julien Anquetin rounds out the top four with 17 points. Known for his bold riding style, Anquetin may be trailing the leaders, but his ability to deliver standout performances keeps him a dangerous competitor as the season progresses.
5. Erynn Ballard – 16 points
Close behind Anquetin, Canada’s Erynn Ballard is holding steady with 16 points. Ballard has proven time and again that she can rise to the occasion, and a few big results could quickly catapult her further up the standings.
As the tour continues, the leaderboard promises even more shakeups. With only a handful of points separating the top contenders, every round matters. Whether it’s Farrington defending his lead, Bluman pushing for the top, or Keenan, Anquetin, and Ballard climbing higher, the race for the individual title is wide open.
