GERMANY’S Christian Ahlmann scored his second World Cup win within a week, when he came out on top in the sixth round of the Longines series at Madrid, Spain, last Sunday.

In the previous round at Suttgart he partnered Codex One, but in Madrid the 15-year-old stallion Taloubet Z, who carried him to success, and the 40-year-old rider couldn’t help but feel emotional in the aftermath.
