Dressage horse Diallo BB dies

OLYMPIC Champion Jessica von Bredow-Werndl’s rising Grand Prix star Diallo BB has sadly died. The 11-year-old gelding (Dancier x Floriscount) began his big tour career with fellow German Uta Graf, before moving to von Bredow-Werndl’s base in early 2025. The combination made their international debut at CDI Hagen in April before winning both of their classes at CDI5* Munich in May. More recently, they earned double victories at CDI Wiener Neustadt and CDI-W Stuttgart before being awarded the Otto Lorke prize for Germany’s most promising rising Grand Prix horse at CDI Frankfurt in December.
