Michael Jung, Phillip Dutton, Anne Kursinski — Felix Vogg's Mentor List Is Strong

What would you do if you had the opportunity to learn from one of the best event riders in the world? You'd jump at it, of course. That’s what Swiss eventer Felix Vogg did several years ago when he went to work for German Olympic champion Michael Jung. But working under the world’s best also comes with its own version of pressure. For a self-proclaimed perfectionist such as Felix, this almost proved to be more challenging than any difficult horse or tough course that came his way.

Early in 2018, Felix temporarily relocated to the U.S. in a concerted effort to prepare for the upcoming FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon, North Carolina. While based in the U.S., Felix learned from greats such as Phillip Dutton, Boyd and Silva Martin, and Anne Kursinski. He credits that time with allowing him to let go of the personal expectations he was clinging to so tightly. One of the most important lessons he’s learned, Felix says, is to embrace the process and learn to be a bit more forgiving of himself.
