Anna Buffini on Fiontini has moved into third place in the U.S. Olympic rankings following last week’s debut of the mare.

Anna and the 14-year-old Danish Warmblood mare were awarded a Grand Prix score of 72.000% and 72.447% for the Special at the CDI3* in Del Mar, California.

Steffen Peters consolidated his lead on the 16-year-old Suppenkasper in the rankings that are designed to lead to a three-member team at the Paris Olympics at the end of July.

Steffen and KWPN gelding have a total of 73.965% based on the results of two qualifying competitions that if he is selected for the Paris team would be his six Olympics. On Suppenkasper, he was on silver medal teams at the Tokyo Olympics and the 2018 World Equestrian Games.

In second place is Sarah Tubman and First Apple, 14-year-old KWPN stallion, with scores from last September’s Pan American Games but none yet from 2024.
