With only a month and a half left of the national season, Tom Nestor and Cooley Diamond Dancer have extended their lead at the top of the EDIX saddles & bitless bridles Leading Young Rider table.

🔥 The combination's 8th place finish at the FEI Eventing U25 World Championship saw them jump to a 14-point lead over second place Ava Dowley and IDA 83, who earned a hefty 26 points finishing 3rd in the CCIYR3*-L at Bicton earlier this year.

⬆️ Lucy Ruth McDowell and Glenvine Codename R have moved up into 3rd position after consistent performances at 3* level this year.

⭐ The combination with the most points at the end of 2026 from EI National Events, Home Internationals and Overseas Internationals at EI110/2* level and above will win an incredible EDIX Saddles performance package: EDIX Cross Country Saddle, EDIX Saddles Girth, EDIX Saddles Merino Saddlepad, and an expert saddle fitting session from Irish agent, Jess Parsons, to ensure optimum comfort and performance for both horse and rider.
