Germany’s Jessica von Bredow-Werndl finished third in Paris last weekend for the third time at a FEI World Cup Final with her loyal partner Unee Bb, and it was an emotional finale too. Owned by Swiss dressage judge Beatrice Bürchler-Keller the 17 year old Dutch stallion has had an illustrious career with Jess and this would be his last World Cup Final. The self proclaimed ‘King of Aubenhausen’ is poised to retire after achieving a personal best score in the freestyle of 83.725% and can now look forward to the green pastures of home in the east of Germany overlooking the Alps… but not quite yet. Jess is going to be busy this summer campaigning her two mares; the 11 year old Trakhener mare Tsf Dalera Bb and 14 year old Dutch mare Zaira E with a view to making the team for the 2018 World Equestrian Games later this year. I caught up with the popular German after she returned home from Paris to hear about her World Cup performance and plans for the year.
