In Warendorf, the early favourites emerged, whilst other horse-rider pairings improved their performances even further – and Holsteiners once again shook up the top ranks. The results for the seven-year-old show jumpers were particularly striking: the top four places were taken exclusively by horses with Holsteiner pedigrees – led by Munin, a son of Mylord Carthago, with Richard Vogel in the saddle.
