Vogel wins in Redefin
If it works, it works!
Richard Vogel is currently almost unstoppable. Already last weekend he was able to put himself at the top several times at the Maimarkt tournament in Mannheim.
Just a few days later, at the Horse Festival in Redefin, the young man from Baden-Württemberg was unstoppable.
The Horse Festival in Redefin is one of the traditional German tournaments. With its imposing venue at the Main and County Stud Redefin, it attracts many riders.
Already the championship on Saturday afternoon should be exciting. Names like Toni Hassmann, Clarissa Crotta or also Andre Thieme let hope for an exciting jump-off.
But one was the fastest of all in the end. How could it be otherwise, it was Richard Vogel. With his bay gelding "Ride Smart Never Walk Alone", he prevailed in the jump-off against, among others, the fast Swiss Clarissa Crotta. Here he was a whole three seconds faster than Crotta. In 3rd place then lined up the Dane Sören Pedersen.
After such a great start, the Marburg-based show jumper was naturally eager to win. Together with his business partner, he is based here at the Hofgut Dagobertshausen riding facility. While Will was able to secure a test in St. Tropez, Vogel gave his all once again in the Grand Prix of Redefin.
In the first round, a total of 49 pairs were at the start. The course was challenging but fairly built. Vogel was the last to start in the round. Here he showed again his usual class and could move into the jump-off.
How should it be different? Vogel was also in the jump-off again in front and prevailed against old champions such as Andre Thieme in second place or Carsten-Otto Nagel in third place.
