Kürten’s slide down the Rolex World Rankings continues

SHOW jumper Jessica Kürten’s slide down the Rolex World Rankings continued last month, with the Antrim woman now lying 20th.

Kürten cannot compete her best horses, following a falling out with their owner Lady Georgina Forbes, and is paying the price with few top results.

Ireland, however, is well represented at the top of the rankings as, for the second month, Cheshire-based Corkman Billy Twomey remains in the vanguard in seventh place, while Denis Lynch has moved up a place to eighth.
