Find out all about Marcus' career, significant horses & events! BIOGRAPHY The Beginning Marcus started riding at the age of seven. He took riding lessons, along with his sister, Kerstin, in the riding club of Borken. Some videos still exist in the Ehning archives of Marcus’ first beginner’s shows (E- and A-classes) on Ponies and adult horses. Although not every ride was successful, Marcus was very ambitious from the beginning. As a result, he once received a special award for completing a course, even though in the process he had fallen off the horse three times! Marcus quickly learned how to adjust to different horses and his father Richard made sure that he had suitable horses. All of the Ehning children learned how to ride on the Pony “Narmit”, who brought Marcus safely to success. “Lord,” Marcus’ first adult horse, gave him the confidence to compete in his first low and medium level shows (L- and M classes). Marcus then rode “Metaxa,” a horse very dear to him but also for sale. When she was as good as sold, however, Marcus lit a candle for her every evening and spent his time sitting next to her in the stable. Marcus’ father got the message and cancelled the deal. The Turning Point With the arrival of For Pleasure at the Ehning stable close to Christmas in 1998, the real success story began. The Hanoverian stallion, already known for his exceptional jumping talent and vibrant presence, proved to be an extraordinary horse that would shape Marcus’ career profoundly. Only seven months after their first start the two won team gold at the European Championships, Hickstead and reached fifth place in the individual ranking. Then in 2000 they won gold with the German team and placed fourth in the individual at the Olympic Games in Sydney. In that same year they were runner-up at the German championships. In 2002 Marcus and For Pleasure went one better and won the German championships. In 2003 at the European championships in Donaueschingen, the pair contributed to the German team winning Gold and also took home an individual bronze medal. The pair won numerous Grand Prix throughout Europe. For Pleasure was retired from the sport at the age of 20 and spent his retirement in the fields at Ehning’s stable. Career Highlights As Marcus’ partnership with For Pleasure evolved, more exceptional horses emerged in his career. Together with Anka he won the World Cup Final in Las Vegas in 2003. That year the remarkable stallion Sandro Boy also joined the team, and the pair forged an extraordinary bond. Together they won many Grand Prix, as well as the silver medal at the German Championships twice(2004/2006). The highlight of his career was winning the World Cup Final in Kuala Lumpur in 2006. After going through the event without looking like touching a single rail over 5 rounds he was crowned the winner. With his unique combination of carefulness, scope and a strong character Sandro Boy is one of the most famous stallions in the world. In 2011 he was retired from the sport and enjoyed his retirement as a breeding stallion at Ehnings Stable. "When it does not go to plan, you can not blame the horse. You must look at what you as a rider could have done better, that's the only way to improve." - Marcus Ehning In 2005 together with Gitania, Marcus secured Gold with the German team at the World Equestrian Games in San Patrignano and placed third at the World Cup Final in Las Vegas. The famous mare Noltes Küchengirl started her career with Marcus’ brother, Johannes as Lord’s Classics. She already showed her quality winning the Hamburg Grand Prix at just 8 years old with Johannes in 2005. In 2006 she was purchased by the Nolte Group – A family run Kitchen and Furniture manufacturing company. Marcus took over the reins and the pair had many successes together. After wins in Leipzig and Bordeaux Marcus won the Grand Prix of Aachen for the first time. The pair went on to be part of the German team at the Wold Equestrian Games, also held in Aachen, taking home the Bronze medal. At the European Championships in Mannheim, 2007, Marcus and Noltes Küchengirl were part of the German Team securing the silver medal. They also had many other wins together including Grand Pix in La Baule, Paderborn, Zürich and the Global Champions Tour Final in Rio de Janiero. In 2014 Noltes Küchengirl was retired from the sport, after which she had four foals and enjoyed her retirement in the fields at Ehnings stable. The brilliant Plot Blue joined Marcus’ team in the summer of 2008. In their first championship appearance together secured Bronze with the German team at the 2009 European Championships in Windsor. 2010 Marcus won the World Cup Final for a third time, this time together with Noltes Küchengirl and Plot Blue in Geneve. At the World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Plot Blue and Marcus brought home team Gold. To top off a very successful year, with wins and placings with Sabrina, Plot Blue and Noltes Küchengirl Marcus was crowned overall winner of the Global Champions Tour. In 2012, Plot Blue und Marcus finished fifth individually at the London 2012 Olympics. The dependability of Plot Blue to deliver clear rounds made him one of Marcus’ best horses. He was a member of numerous successful Nationscup teams throughout his career. Together they won Grand Prix in Vienna, Cannes, Saut Hermes in Paris, Lyon, Mannheim and St. Gallen. Coronado NRW is a talented stallion and together they qualified for the World Cup Final three times, placing fourth twice and twelfth. In 2014 they competed at the World Equestrian Games in Caen placing tenth individually and fourth with the German Team. They had numerous wins and placings, winning the Wold Cup competition in Verona, Grand Prix of Bordeaux and Grand Prix in S-Hertogenbosch. Comme ill Faut, the son of the famous Ratina Z and Cornet Obelinsky came to Marcus’ stable as an 8 year old. He is a stallion with a huge heart and a love of the sport. In addition to winning team silver and placing fifth individually at the 2019 European Championships in Rotterdam, the pair won the Grand Prix in Madrid, Vienna, Brussels, and Paderborn and delivered many clear rounds for Germany on Nations Cup teams and was part of the winning team at the Nations Cup Final in Barcelona 2018. In 2018, together with Misanto Pret a Tout, Marcus won the Rolex Grand Prix of Aachen for the second time. The pair was also part of the winning German team in the Nations Cup in Aachen three years in a row from 2016 until 2018. The pair delivered valuable clear rounds for the German Team at the World Equestrian Games in Tryon bringing home the Bronze medal and finishing fifteenth individually. Marcus and Misanto Pret a Tout were an amazing partnership winning the Rolex Grand Prix in Geneva, World Cup competition in Madrid, Global Champions Tour Grand Prix in Madrid, Grand Prix of Gothenburg, Grand Prix of Munster, as well as the Nations Cup Final in Barcelona in 2016. In 2021 Stargold helped the German team secure a silver medal at the European Championships in Riesenbeck. He is an exceptional stallion with a great character and strong desire to please. In 2023 together with Stargold Marcus went down in history winning the Grand Prix of Aachen for the third time.

Today we saw Marcus Ehning and new partner Coolio 42 win the sixth leg of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ in Madrid with Verona’s winner and Olympic champion Ben Maher and Enjeu de Grisien taking second. Spain’s Mariano Martinez Bastida with Belano vd Wijnhoeve Z took third on home soil. These results move Maher to first position in the Western European League and Ehning to 12th. Thirty nine riders competed in the first round with just 10 moving to the jump off. The line up included two Spanish riders, Mariano Martinez Bastida with Belano vd Wijnhoeve Z, and Teresa Blazquez-Abascal with Nasa de Toxandria who were jumping on home turf in front of a very supportive crowd. The remaining eight riders included Verona’s winner Great Britain’s Ben Maher with Enjeu de Grisien, Stuttgart’s winner France’s Kevin Staut with Visconti du Telman, and fellow French riders Jeanne Sadran with Dexter de Kerglenn, Olivier Robert with Iglesias D.V, and Julien Epaillard with Donatello d’Auge. In addition, Brazil’s Pedro Veniss and Boeckmanns Lord Pezi Junior, Germany’s Marcus Ehning with Coolio 42, and World No.1, Sweden’s Henrik Von Eckermann and Calizi competed in the final round. New partnership for Ehning “I think you could see in the jump off I tried everything,” said Ehning. “This is a new horse and I’m really proud of him. I didn’t expect to be the fastest but I’m more than happy. It was unreal for me, I didn’t expect it. I’ve only had two jump offs with him in my life…he’s an amazing horse.” 10 year old gelding, Coolio 42, competed with Ehning for the first time in Riesenbeck in September this year with Madrid’s win being the first for the partnership.

War das spannend: Marcus Ehning und sein Oldenburger-Hengst Stargold gewinnen den Großen Preis von Aachen. Fünf Teilnehmer hatten es in das Stechen geschafft. Daniel Deußer und Killer Queen VDM legten mit einer schnellen Nullrunde vor, doch als letzter Starter zeigte Marcus Ehning, dass es noch schneller ging. Das Aachener Publikum hatte schon den fehlerfreien Ritt im Stechen von Daniel Deußer und Killer Queen VDM frenetisch gefeiert, nachdem alle anderen drei Paare im Stechen zuvor einen Springfehler kassierten hatten. Nicht nur beim Mexikaner Eugenio Garza Perez mit Contago, auch beim Brasilianer Rodrigo Pessoa mit Major Tom und bei Philipp Weishaupt mit dem erst neunjährigen Zindeday war je eine Stange im Stechen gefallen. Daniel Deußer und Killer Queen VDM hatten bereits 2021 den Großen Preis gewonnen. Sie blieben als erstes Paar im Stechen fehlerfrei und setzten Schlussreiter Marcus Ehning mit ihrer Zeit von 45,73 Sekunden unter Druck. Mit dem Oldenburger-Hengst v. Stakkato Gold zeigte dieser, dass man auch schräg in die zweifache Kombination einreiten konnte. Das Publikum hielt die Luft an, alles blieb liegen. Am letzten Hindernis tobte das Publikum los – es gab Standing Ovations. 45,12 Sekunden standen auf der Anzeigetafel, das war ein Wimpernschlag schneller als Deußer und Killer Queen. Marcus Ehning hat nach 2006 und 2018 damit zum dritten Mal den Großen Preis von Aachen gewonnen. Marcus Ehning fiel es schwer seine Gefühle zu beschreiben: „Ich weiß es auch noch nicht so wirklich. Ich hatte eine etwas holperige Woche hier, dennoch hat sich mein Pferd gut angefühlt. Ich konnte schlecht abschätzen, wie schnell muss ich, wie schnell nicht. Ich wollte auch nicht zu viel riskieren. Es ist unglaublich, wie er gesprungen ist über drei Runden, und ich kann es noch gar nicht richtig glauben“, sagte Ehning direkt nach seinem Siegesritt. Über Stargold sagte er: „Ich weiß, dass er ein extrem grundschnelles, schlaues und flexibles Pferd ist, ich muss nur aufpassen, dass er wirklich ruhig ist, aber ich glaube, es ist mir ganz gut gelungen ist. Es war ja sehr knapp, daher bin ich umso glücklicher.“ Eine seiner ersten Schritte nach seinem Sieg war dann auch, Daniel Deußer herzlich zu gratulieren und sich wie zu entschuldigen: „Sorry“ sagte er nur zum zweitplatzierten Deußer. Mit dem schnellsten Vier-Fehler-Ritt geht der dritte Platz im Großen Preis von Aachen auch an einen deutsches Paar und zwar an Philipp Weishaupt und Zineday v. Zinedine. Philipp Weishaupt war ausgesprochen zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis: "Zineday ist erst neun Jahre alt. Er war das jüngste Pferd im Stechen und die Tatsache, dass ich hier jetzt neben zwei erfahrenen Reitern sitze, die mit sehr erfahrenenen Pferden angetreten sind, zeigt dass er ein absolutes Weltpferd ist"; sagte Weishaupt in der abschließenden Pressekonferenz.

Marcus Ehning ist zum zweiten Mal Deutscher Meister im Springreiten. Der 49-Jährige aus Borken blieb beim Longines Balve Optimum mit Priam du Roset in vier Umläufen ohne Strafpunkte. Das gelang auch dem Silbermedaillengewinner Maurice Tebbel (Emsbüren) mit Chacco´s Light. Im abschließenden Stechen gegen Ehning um den Titelgewinn kassierten die beiden dann aber einen Abwurf. Bronze sicherte sich Maximilian Weishaupt (Jettingen) mit DSP Omerta Incipit. Spannend bis zum Schluss blieb es bei der Deutschen Meisterschaft im Springen. Zwei Paare schafften es über vier Umläufe fehlerfrei zu bleiben – damit war klar, dass es ein abschließendes Stechen zwischen Marcus Ehning und Maurice Tebbel geben würde. Ehning ging mit seinem Plot Blue-Nachkomme Priam du Roset zuerst an den Start und wählte die richtige Taktik: sicher auf Null. „Auch wenn ich jetzt fast 50 bin, ist so eine Meisterschaft doch immer was anderes, da ist man nochmal mehr angespannt, vor allem wenn man die Chance hat, Deutscher Meister zu werden“, sagte Ehning nach seinem Ritt. „Priam du Roset ist unglaublich auf Null, aber das Stechenreiten müssen wir noch ein bisschen lernen.“ Nicht alles an Tempo rauszuholen, zahlte sich aus: Mit ihrer fünften Nullrunde sicherten sich die beiden am Ende die Goldmedaille. 21 Jahre ist es her, dass Marcus Ehning seinen letzten DM-Titel gefeiert hat, damals noch in Mannheim mit seinem legendären Fuchs For Pleasure. Auch mit seinem zwölfjährigen Priam du Roset verbindet ihn eine besondere Beziehung: „Ich habe ihn seitdem er vier Jahre ist. In den letzten Jahren hat er eine unglaublich gute Entwicklung gemacht. Er ist jetzt genau im richtigen Alter und ich bin froh, dass ich ihn habe.“ Seine zweite Silbermedaille bei Deutschen Meisterschaften feierte Maurice Tebbel. Bereits 2020 stand er auf dem Podium, in diesem Jahr wäre es für ihn und seinen selbstgezogenen, neunjährigen Oldenburger Hengst Chacco‘s Light (von Chacco‘s Son) fast der Titel geworden. Mit deutlich höherem Grundtempo als Ehning waren die beiden im Stechen der Goldmedaille nah – dann fiel am letzten Oxer die Stange. „Es fühlte sich an, als wenn wir heute gar keinen Fehler machen könnten“, erklärt Tebbel. „Hätte ich mir zum letzten Sprung einfach ein bisschen mehr Zeit gelassen, wäre sicherlich nichts passiert. Das ist natürlich mein Fehler. Mein Pferd sprang überragend, er ist neun Jahre alt, vier Nullrunden – das ist Wahnsinn. Ich habe schon viele gute Pferde geritten, aber so ein Pferd wie Chacco‘s Light, das gibt es nicht so oft auf der Welt. Ich bin dankbar, so ein Pferd reiten zu dürfen.“ Die Bronzemedaille ging an Maximilian Weishaupt mit DSP Omerta Incipit. Die beiden kassierten lediglich in der ersten Wertungsprüfung am Freitag einen Abwurf. Mit zwei fehlerfreien Ritten und der etwas schnelleren Zeit am Finaltag setzten sie sich vor Max Haunhorst und Carlo. „Balve ist immer etwas wegweisend für die Saison. Ich bin natürlich super happy, dass es so gelaufen ist“, sagte Weishaupt nach seinem Medaillengewinn mit Blick auf die weitere Saisonplanung. Auch Co-Bundestrainer Marcus Döring zog am Ende der Deutschen Meisterschaften ein positives Fazit. „Ich glaube, wir haben hier die ganze Woche großartigen Sport gesehen, spannenden Sport bis zum Schluss. Besser hätte es nicht laufen können.“ fn-press/mly Quelle: www.pferd-aktuell.de German Champion 2023 11 June 2023 26 November 2023 Winners - World Cup Madrid! 2 July 2023 Winners - Aachen Grand Prix! 11 June 2023 German Champion 2023 29 April 2023 Calanda goes into Retirement!
