Richard Vogel Notches His First FEI Win at 2022 WEF

Wellington, FL – The series of Adequan® WEF Challenge Cup classes continued on Thursday, January 13, 2022, at the 2022 Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington, FL. Richard Vogel (GER) sped to the win in the $37,000 Adequan® WEF Challenge Cup Round One CSI3* with Caramba 92, owned by Horse Management GMBH.
In addition to top national hunter, equitation, and jumper competition, WEF Week One showcases CSI3* classes through Sunday, January 13. The featured classes this week include the $140,000 Southern Arches Grand Prix CSI3* for “Saturday Night Lights,” as well as the $37,000 CaptiveOne Advisors 1.50m Classic on Sunday.
Fifty-seven combinations challenged Anthony D’Ambrosio’s (USA) and Andy Christiansen Jr.’s (ECU) first-round course, but only nine were able to finish fault free. Last to jump cleanly was McLain Ward (USA), who elected to withdraw from the jump-off, which left eight riders vying for the top spot.
