The JMEN Ranking gathers official results from CBH (Brazilian Equestrian Federation) and from the National Show Jumping Concourses, turns placement into points and orders by age category. The full formula and data sources are below.
JMEN — Jovens Mestres em Equitação de Nações (Young Masters of Nations Equitation) — is the Brazilian competitive show jumping category for young Brazilian horses (4 to 8 years old), regulated by CBH (Brazilian Equestrian Confederation). It's the antechamber of the world elite: horses that shine here are the candidates for the Brazilian show jumping squad. That's why this ranking matters: it shapes the breeding market, helps trainers plan careers, and gives visibility to generations of Brazilian breeders' work.
Today the JMEN Ranking gathers official results from five state federations — FPH (SP), FHMG (MG), SHBr (DF), FEERJ (RJ) and FPRH (PR). We are working to include new federations each new season.

Every stage in official CBH/CNS events generates points by placement. The ranking rewards consistency — horses that run every stage earn more than horses that win once and disappear.
Placement points are the same in any class. What changes is the height multiplier — CN 6 (1.20m) at ×1.15; CN 7 (1.30m) at ×1.30; Sênior Top (1.50m) at ×1.75; Grand Prix (1.55m+) at ×1.90. The four sparklines below show the same 10→8→6→5→4→3→2 curve scaled by height — same shape, different heights.
The JMEN Ranking has two complementary views — choose which one to see at the top of the main page. Points by placement above are common to both. What changes is the multiplier applied.
Top 15 Young Horses based on official CBH PDFs (4 to 8 years old). Coverage: full season of each horse in CN categories. Multiplier by event type (CSI > CSN > regional).
350+ JMEN horses scoring across all categories — Young Horses, Amateurs, Senior, Grand Prix. Multiplier by difficulty tier of the class.
Applied to the Top 15 CN. Each Young Horse stage is classified by event type — winning a CSI 5★ scores more than winning a regional. Points by placement × event multiplier.
Example CN: 1st in CSN = 10 × 1.2 = 12 points. 1st in CSI 5★ = 10 × 2.0 = 20 points.
Applied to the ranking that joins all categories. Each result is classified by sport level (height + event type). CSI events apply additional override when it yields more than the base tier.
CSI events apply additional override: CSI 3★ multiplier × 1.5, CSI 5★ multiplier × 2.0 — replacing the tier base when higher.
Corsall JMEN won the CN6 1.20m class at D'Maio 2026 — real fact from the site. Here's how that same 1st place would score in other categories:
JMEN points are season-scoped (Oct → Oct, aligned with CSN AGROMEN).
4-year-old horses don't compete against 8-year-olds — each age category has its own independent ranking. It's fair: it protects young horses in development.
The global Top (cross-category) on the homepage is a showcase only — a simple sum of each horse's points regardless of category. The year's titles (“Best JMEN 6-year-old of 2026/2027”) come from the per-category ranking.
The JMEN season begins on the first day of CSN AGROMEN (October) and ends on the last event before the next CSN AGROMEN. Champions are crowned on stage at the following CSN AGROMEN — during the event, not after.
The JMEN Ranking is built on the current CBH JMEN regulations. We follow the official CBH calendar, the placement points table, and the age categories CN_4_ANOS to CN_8_ANOS. Where we diverge — such as the drop-best-N cap (anti-overload) and temporal decay — it's documented in the formula change history, with explicit technical reason and authorship.
The JMEN Ranking has three cuts of the same data. Overall: sums points across all categories and ages. By age: groups Young Horses by age (4 to 8 years, CBH standard). By height: groups by jump height (1.10m to 1.60m, ±5cm), showing how the horse performs at each technical level. Same formula in all — they differ only in the slice.
Two horses with the same JMEN score are not necessarily comparable. A horse with thirty events has a settled rating; a horse with three events has a rating still finding itself. We expose this difference with a small badge — Provisório (Provisional) or Consolidado (Consolidated) — so you read the number with the right amount of trust.
Internally we use a Glicko-2 parallel rating that estimates how much each horse's score is calibrated. The badge translates this into three words. The score on the leaderboard does not change — only the confidence label does.
Decision and method documented in Changelog v2.0.
MVP covers Young Horses (categories 4 to 8 years old) — the segment with per-horse ranking published by CBH. Adult categories (1.10m to 1.60m by jump height) come in a future version.
Categories 4-8 years follow the CBH JMEN definition; the 9+ band ("Consolidated Roster") is an editorial aggregation, not an official category.
