Germany’s Richard Vogel and the fabulous stallion United Touch S were the golden partnership on the final day of the Longines FEI Jumping European Championship 2025 at Casas Novas in A Coruña, Spain Sunday afternoon, July 20. Over two more spectacular rounds, the pair maintained the lead they had established on Thursday to top the podium ahead of Great Britain’s Scott Brash with Hello Folie in silver, and Belgium’s Gilles Thomas and Ermitage Kalone in bronze.

This was Germany’s 16th individual title in the history of the Championship that dates back to 1957, and 28-year-old Vogel has entered his name onto the roll of honour that includes many German legends including three-in-a-row champion Paul Schockemöhle, and Vogel’s former boss, Ludger Beerbaum.

Big courses

Course designer Santiago Varela (ESP) presented two more big courses today, but such was the calibre of horses at this championship that 18 of the 25 starters jumped clear first time out, and 10 of the 12 that returned for the final round were also foot-perfect once again.
