Times Kismet has made her international grand prix debut with Jessica von Bredow-Werndl, 17 months after she joined the German Olympic gold medallist’s stable.

The 11-year-old mare had been a rising star in Charlotte Dujardin’s string and competed at small tour, before she joined Jessica in October 2024. Jessica has taken her time producing Times Kismet, riding her in their first national competition on home soil in August 2025.
