Stuttgart, Germany – November 13, 2026 – Early Friday evening, Germany’s Richard Vogel (GER) won the second qualifier for the Stuttgat German Master later on at the 40th International Stuttgat German Masters Horse Show CSI 5*-W & CSI 2* in the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle. The team world champion in Aachen finished 3.99 seconds ahead of Frenchman Marc Dilasser (FRA) to win the €30,000 Outletcity Metzingen Prize CSI 5*-W. It secured him 7,500-euro prize money and a berth in the final of the horse show’s second most important jumping class, even though he only came 20th yesterday. Only the 12 top riders from Thursday’s quali, the Prize of XXL-Sicherheit, and the Outletcity prize are eligible for a starting place in the Stuttgart German Master presented by DVAG starting at 10 pm.
