  • His record four wins and five runner-up placements at last year’s Aachen set a high bar for his comeback.
  • Elite show jumper economics led to the sale of Cepano and Cydello to Christian Kukuk and Katrin Eckermann this year.
  • Bundestrainer Otto Becker has praised Vogel’s talent and officially nominated him and United Touch for Germany’s European Championship team.
  • In mid-July, Vogel will make his first championship team appearance alongside partner Sophie Hinners at La Coruña.
