The FTI Rider Challenge accumulates points from a series of designated Grand Prix events at the CN Winter Equestrian Festival. The $200,000 is awarded at the end of WEF to the top four riders.

With only two more events left in the $200,000 FTI Rider Challenge, Beezie Madden stayed at the top of the standings after the WEF Challenge Cup Round IX Thursday. Madden rode Play On to finish eighth, one place behind Eric Lamaze who is second in the standings.
