Marcus Ehnings history at the World Equestrian Games is a prime example of mental strength and the ability to recover athletically.

Four years later, he was able to celebrate this breakthrough and won a team gold medal. His trainer, Otto Becker, particularly praised his established routine and his composure, which he relies on.
