Jessica von Bredow-Werndl is the new individual Olympic dressage champion after a stunning freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics. Fifth from last to go, the German rider produced a fabulous test on her 14-year-old mare, TSF Dalera, to score 91.732%.

“I couldn’t have done any better and I’m so pleased with Dalera,” said Jessica. “She gave her whole heart for me and was amazing.”
