Omaha: Jessica von Bredow-Werndl Wins the Grand Prix of the FEI Dressage World Cup™ Final

April 5, 2023 - Omaha/USA

At 8 p.m. (CEST), Dutch rider Thamar Zweistra began dancing through the arena with her Hexagon's Ich Weiss. The setting of the FEI Dressage World Cup™ Final is very impressive for horse and rider, even though they already had the chance to check out the show arena yesterday, many of the horses were impressed by the atmosphere at the FEI Dressage World Cup™ Final in Omaha. It remained exciting until the last pair, Simone Pearce and Fiderdance were the last pair to dance through the arena on Wednesday. 

Then it was decided! Jessica von Bredow-Werndl danced with TSF Dalera BB to win the Grand Prix in Omaha at the FEI Dressage World Cup™ Final 2023!

"I am super proud of Dalera, despite the small mistakes. I'm excited for Friday and try not to think further about the mistakes, the focus is clearly on the Grand Prix Freestyle to Music." Jessica von Bredow-Werndl

After these great rounds in the dressage arena, it remains exciting to see if Jessica von Bredow-Werndl will be able to defend her title or if we can congratulate a new defending champion on his/her victory on Friday in Omaha.
