Hooray for an Steffen and Ravel - one of the first times I remember an American cleaning up in dressage at Aachen. He ousted Anky Van Grunsven on her Olympic mount out of the Grand Prix, the Grand Prix Freestyle and Grand Prix Special! Steffen was born and raised in Germany and migrated to the US 20 years ago so in essence he is German but he says his heart is in America. Watch their performance at the following link:
