TWO WINS IN TWO DAYS FOR RICHARD VOGEL AT SPRUCE MEADOWS MASTERS
A Hat Trick Victory for Richard Vogel of Germany in the CANA Cup.
Another Trip to the Winner’s Circle for Richard Vogel (GER) Day Two of the 2025 Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’
(Calgary, AB) - Another busy afternoon on the International Ring with 60 competitors started for the CANA Cup 1.60m on Thursday 4 September. CANA has supported Spruce Meadows since the beginning in 1975, and their Chairman and CEO, John Simpson, was formerly a member of the Canadian Show Jumping Team.
FEI Course Designer Leopoldo Palacios (VEN) laid out a challenging track that featured 12 obstacles (15 jumping efforts) that had to be completed in 79 seconds or less. Germany’s Richard Vogel seems to have found his stride at Spruce Meadows. Aboard the grey stallion, Cloudio, the pair jumped clear in the jump off in a time of 45.54s to secure the win.
“We really perform our best with a lot of atmosphere and, with people cheering for us it's starting to filling up (the Spruce Meadows grandstands) now, and, when the weekend arrives Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I think (when) we have, full stands that atmosphere is something we very look, forward to. - Richard Vogel (GER), on competing in front of the crowds at Spruce Meadows.
“It just gives us, extra motivation and, the horses feel that, too. So, it's always nice to ride in front of such a crowd, like here in Spruce Meadows.”
This was Vogel’s third consecutive win of the CANA Cup at the Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’.
