Marcus Ehning of Germany Wins Budweiser Show Jumping World Cup Final

Las Vegas Events, Inc. really knows how to put on a show. The opening ceremonies and acts between the breaks were outstanding with Las Vegas showgirls, laser shows, fireworks, equestrian demonstrations and amazing variety acts. The packed stands appreciated every minute of it making the whole event one to be long remembered.

Prior to the competition, four US riders received Silver medals for competing in 100 World Cup competitions. They were Donald Cheska, Beezie Madden, Eric Hasbrouck and Susie Hutchison.

The World Cup organization is losing an icon as Max Ammann is retiring as director of the World Cup after twenty-five years. Ammann created the World Cup and is largely responsible for making it the truly great event that it is today.
