The German national anthem sounded for the third time on Saturday evening at the 58th Maimarkt tournament in the MVV Riding Stadium Mannheim: After the two victories of Richard Vogel (Reiter-Verein Mannheim) during the day, a German also prevailed in the Maimarkt Championships presented by Karl Berrang GmbH - in memoriam Dr. Helmut Kohl. David Will (Dagobertshausen) on the ten-year-old grey mare Concordia, bred in Baden-Württemberg, was the fourth last of the 56 participants to beat Gerald Nothdurft (Moringen), who was leading for a long time, after a great round without a drop in 57.51 seconds and collected a prize money of 2,500 Euros for this. Nothdurft, who had saddled the 12-year-old Holstein gelding Ride Smart Never Walk Alone, was only 16 hundredths slower with also zero faults and 57.67 seconds, leaving him with 2,000 euros in prize money. Third place went to "Ritchie" Vogel (RV Mannheim) on the nine-year-old chestnut stallion Carlchen S (0/58.32). "That was a perfect day for our team with the two victories of Richard and now with my success," the 34-year-old beamed all over his face. "Concordia is very unexcited, that is the good thing about her," was his assessment of his horse. "She will now get a two-day break , then I will ride her on Tuesday at Badenia." On Monday, he wants to saddle his young horse PB Coretta Z.
