The Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ of Stuttgart had it all: Top sport, a full house and a fantastic audience. Several riders chased the outstanding jump-off time posted by Richard Vogel and United Touch S (Untouched x Lux Z), but it turned out to be unbeatable. However, two horse-and-rider combinations came close and tied for the second place: Denis Lynch and Brooklyn Heights (Nabab de Reve x For Pleasure), as well as Steve Guerdat and Dynamix de Belheme (Snaike de Blondel x Cornet Obolensky) – pictured above.
Here we look back at some of all the action in the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ of Stuttgart 2022.

Henrik von Eckermann was very happy with the 9-year-old Iliana's (Cardento x Gentleman) fantastic jumping. After a fast double clear, the two ended fourth. Von Eckermann now tops the World Cup standings for the Western European League after taking points in Oslo, winning in Verona and finishing fourth in Stuttgart.
Jur Vrieling and Long John Silver 3 (Lasino x San Patrignano Corrado) had a misunderstanding in the short turn back to the wall, which dropped them down to 13th - just outside the ribbons. Vrieling has taken points in all three World Cups that he has competed in this season and is rank three on the current standings.
