AACHEN, Germany - May 21 - Germany's Marcus Ehning continued his "amazing" string of victories to ride his nine-year-old mare Nolte's Kuchengirl to first place in the $300,000 Aachen Grand Prix Sunday. Outright jubilation at the German's win two days after claiming the Samsung Super League was tempered by a fall by Margie Engle of the United States on Hidden Creek's Perin.

The two-round Grand Prix was won by Marcus Ehning in a jump-off on the nine-year-old mare, Nolte's Kuchengirl, who took home first prize of almost $100,000. Herve Godignon of France on Obelix was second, and Eric Lamaze of Canada on Hickstead was third. After the competition, Ehning said he found his success "amazing," claiming the World Cup Final in Malaysia three weeks ago, winning the Grand Prix at LaBaule, and Aachen, and being on the team that won both Super League contests.

Engle of Wellington, Fla. was taken to the hospital where she was reported as having suffered a concussion and a cut lip, but was recovering. Her husband, Dr. Steve Engle, is an equine chiropractor and accompanied his wife during a jumping tour that took her to the World Cup Final in Malaysia and to Europe as a member of the top United States show jumping squad. He was in the crowd of 40,000 spectators watching the final competition of the World Equestrian Festival.

Perin appeared to stumble in between jumps. He tried to continue to jump as Engle came off, crashing through the third jump of the obstacle. It looked to the crowd as if the horse trod on Engle, and she lay on the ground for about a minute. Dr. Engle, U.S. Chef d' Equipe George Morris, and one of her teammates, Lauren Hough, also of Wellington, Fla., rushed onto the grass field.

The crowd erupted in applause when Engle declined help from medics and walked off the field with Hough putting an arm around her shoulder. Remarkably, reports from the hospital after an initial examination and x-rays indicated no broken bones or other series injuries. Engle took the same horse to the Sydney 2000 Olympics, but missed out on winning a spot on the Athens 2004 Games because of a broken femur caused in another riding accident. She is still scheduled to go to Rome this week where the U.S. will participate in the third of the eight-event Samsung Super League competitions.

She rode in the first two Super League competitions, at LaBaule, France, two weeks ago and here in Aachen last Friday, in which the United States came second to Germany in each contest. Engle's success -- she is a nine-time American Grand Prix Association Rider of the Year, including in 2005 -- was typified by her qualifying two horses to represent the United States in the Samsung Super League, the premier series of jumping in the world and which the United States won in 2005.

In the final dressage competition, Nadine Capellman of Germany won the musical freestyle to sweep the hat trick after riding to victory in the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special on her 10-year-old gelding Elvis VA. The music was, naturally, a medley of Elvis Presley vocal hits that was all the more remarkable in that Capellman rode in the face of tradition that frowns on the use of vocals in the musical accompaniment. Her score was 80.850 percent. Kyra Kyrklund on Max, a Finn riding as an individual, finished second with 80.150, while Andreas Helgstrand on Blue Hors Don Schufro was third with 79.225 percent.

In the final of the four-in-hand driving Nation's Cup competition, the United States team of Tucker Johnson of Hobe Sound, Fla., Chester Weber of Ocala, Fla., and Jim Richards of Atlanta, Ga., finished in sixth place.
