Arezzo Man inspires in Ladenburg: Triumph for Richard Vogel!
On June 16, 2025, the young show jumping star, Birkhof's Arezzo Man FBW, achieved an outstanding performance at the Federal Championship qualification for six-year-old show jumping horses in Ladenburg. The stallion, bred by Christian Kraus, achieved first place with a score of 9.3 under the saddle of Richard Vogel. This victory represents Arezzo Man's first tournament start since the remarkable win of the Federal Championships for five-year-old show jumpers in Warendorf in 2024, where Sophie Hinners triumphed riding for him. In Ladenburg, Arezzo Man showed an impressive performance that was characterized by a powerful canter, great ability and excellent technique.
Thomas Casper, the renowned breeder, spoke very positively about the stallion and emphasized his popularity among breeders. He also paid tribute to the beauty and performance of Arezzo Man's offspring. The interpretation of Richard Vogel, who rode Arezzo Man, was also recognized by Casper, showing the high regard for both the horse and the rider.
