Vogel Records Final FEI Win During World Cup Week at World Equestrian Center – Ocala
While five-star competition has concluded for the week, top show jumping continued on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at World Equestrian Center – Ocala (WEC). World No. 6 Richard Vogel (GER) piloted his brand-new partner Cardentos, owned by Witt Pferdezucht GBR, to top a very fast jump-off in the $65,000 Wild Horse Refuge Grand Prix CSI2*, earning their first international grand prix victory as a partnership.
Riding over a course designed by Bernardo Costa Cabral (POR), the 37 horse-and-rider combinations produced 11 that moved on to the jump-off, seven of which ended up double clear.
It was a very tight jump-off, with the top five times all within one second. Vogel led the way in 32.44 seconds. Second place went to Vaclav Stanek and Langley, a 12-year-old homebred Canadian Sport Horse gelding by Lansdowne x Andiamo owned by Ariel Grange, who finished in 32.52 seconds. They squeaked in front of third-place finishers, Mark Bluman (COL) and Hastella, by two one-hundredths of a second. Hastella is a nine-year-old Selle Francais mare by Quamikase des Forets x Vigo d’Arsouilles owned by Aram Ampagoumian LLC.
