Jessica Von Bredow-Werndl
German Olympic Dressage Rider
Bio
Jessica von Bredow-Werndl is a German Olympic champion dressage competitor, who won two gold medals for her country in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
At the age of four she had her first riding lesson and three years later she was allowed to call a Lewitzer pony her own. Jessica discovered dressage riding for herself with the German riding pony “Nino the Champ” and was able to qualify for the finals at the Bundeschampionat in Warendorf in 1998 and 1999. Even after switching to the big horse, Jessica was immediately successful. In 2001, due to two program errors, the European Championship qualification did not work out, a year later she became double European junior champion, and in 2004 she won individual gold and team silver at the European Young Rider Championships.
In 2006 Jessica entered the Grand Prix sport with Duchess. Jessica has set herself the goal of promoting young horses themselves in their “Aubenhausen” training stable and training them up to the high dressage classes.
In 2020 she released a book entitled ‘The Happiness of the Earth,’ which focuses on the relationship between people and horses and a reflection on things that happened to her and the impact of the special horses in her life.
She is considered among the best dressage riders in the world.
