Born on March 25, 1987, in Kehl, Baden-Württemberg, Frederic Wandres developed an interest in horses at a young age. His initial contact with equestrianism began with lunge lessons at a local riding stable. At 14, he acquired his first horse, Calypso, a three-year-old gelding that he trained himself for both show jumping and dressage. Pursuing his parents’ emphasis on education, Wandres completed an apprenticeship as an industrial clerk. After successfully completing his apprenticeship, he committed to a professional career in equestrian sport.
In 2007, Wandres began a three-year apprenticeship as a horse farmer at Hof Kasselmann, an experience he credits with shaping his riding career. He completed this training with the Stensbeck badge, a professional highlight. After a two-year period at Gestüt Bonhomme, he returned to Hof Kasselmann in 2014 and received the Golden Riding Badge in 2015. His international career gained momentum with Duke of Britain FRH, with whom he won the World Cup Freestyle in London in 2018, defeating Olympic champion Charlotte Dujardin. The year 2019 was notable for Wandres, as he became World Champion of six-year-old dressage horses with Zuccero OLD, won the Professional Riders’ Championships, and secured the German Dressage Derby. He was first called up to the Olympic squad in 2020. In 2022, he earned his first German Championship medal with Duke of Britain FRH in Balve and contributed to a team bronze medal at the World Championships in Herning.
The year 2023 saw his horse Bluetooth Old emerge, leading to a silver medal in the freestyle test at the German Championships and team silver at the European Championships in Riesenbeck. In 2024, Wandres achieved silver in both the Grand Prix Special with Bluetooth and the freestyle with Duke at the German Championships. The pinnacle of his career to date came at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he and Bluetooth, alongside Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and Isabell Werth, secured team gold. Wandres has consistently demonstrated the ability to develop numerous horses to the Grand Prix level, solidifying his position in elite dressage.
