Saturday Video: Check Out How the Dressage Queen Gets It Done

I’m a real sucker for both a snoop around other people’s yards and a trip abroad, and this fascinating vlog serves up both: it’s a deep-dive into Olympic gold medallist Jessica von Bredow-Werdnl‘s day-to-day life at the extraordinary Aubenhausen, the sprawling facility she shares with brother Benjamin and a whole host of very, very good horses. There’s a few surprises to be found once you get through the gates, too, including Riding for the Disabled ponies, horsey spa amenities, and — best of all — much more turnout than you might expect to see at a top-end dressage facility. It’s certainly a slice of horsey heaven, by anyone’s estimations — and after you see the care and attention to detail that’s been put into the place, you won’t be surprised at all that Jessica’s career has been such a success so far.
