He lives at the same home with charlotte and carl, he is happy and sound and is regularly hacked out by alan his groom. I can’t think of another horse of this calibre that you could say the same. A true testament to the care and respect charlotte and carl give their horses.
Valegro is TRULY the most beautiful horse of all time. His posture, his rhythm, his strength and glowing coat simply cannot be matched. That horse literally carries an aura about him, and what a great rider to bring out those qualities.
@@mdee860 Charlotte is one with her horses. They're not just money makers. Love her for that! She's got a great relationship with Gia or Pumpkin. I agree about Valegro being the greatest horse in Dressage.
There will never be another Velegro.!!!! Perfection! You will go down in history, never to be forgotten. Happy retirement Velegro. You deserve it. God bless❤❤❤❤❤
I've seen him live 3 times, once at the EC in Aarhus and twice at Olympia, the charisma that horse has and the capacity to hold an entire arena in unparalleled and it does not translate over screen. He is the Freddie Mercury of horses.
@@Sanivia Valegro is relaxed and not tense. Could he do the same routine bitless? Probably eventually. But unfortunately dressage hasn’t caught up to other equine sports. But if you look at his movement, he is relaxed. It’s very difficult if not impossible to get a horse to do that level of dressage well without the horse fully participating
I hope that Valegro will hold the Dressage title for a long time. Valegro is the BEST Dressage horse all around. Congratulations Valegro and Charlotte.
There’s just so much love and respect between this pair…stunning, super-intelligent horse and an amazing woman who rides with both her head and her heart…Charlottes’s kindness and humility are SO inspiring…watching this magical duo pretty much reduces me to tears…the beauty and majesty are overwhelming. Just WOW! ❤️🔥❤️
Charlotte has a unique ability to work with her horse. Valegro is the master he taught Charlotte well. Charlotte is world class with her dressage and the perfect music to match.
The first dressage test shown of this video shows this horse has a lot more cadence than other horses at the same level. It makes for such a good piaffe.
Heavenly music for GOD HAS BOTH his 2 beloved souls together as one they are paradise to watch thank you trainer for all you have done for these two beautiful, loving soulmates to team up ,horses are in heaven as you know
Charlotte and Valegro has kind of ruined me when it comes to dressage 😅 No matter how well the pairs do, I just keep on thinking. Well nothing beats Charlotte and Valegro 😢 I miss seing them together, we probably won't see dressage like that in a while. Don't get me wrong Charlotte is a great rider, and she's really gone places with her other horses too. But no matter what, her and Valegro was a match made in heaven because these two together...just wow
I remember Carl brought him out at a clinic held by a horse magazine in the UK. He said he bought him cheaply as a youngster he was too small for a dressage horse. Fortunately he grew, but I remember his trot was amazing as a youngster. If you search for Carl on You tube I'm sure there's a video of the clinic floating around, Carl talks about him on it while he is been rode.
Charlotte is the most amazing horsewoman. She chose Gio to take to Tokyo because she knew he was resilient enough to make the trip. If only certain others had cared more for their horse than the olympic title…….
Charlotte Dujardin and Carl Hester deserve their wins!! They ride and train with integrity!! ❤ Show me another horse that used his hindquarters like Valegro! The FEI is a joke. They are rewarding people, these days, who train using Rollkur. They turn a a blind eye to the cruelty. Charlotte Fry started with Carl, but unfortunately she left, and now trains with Rollkur. What is the FEI for anymore? 😕
Note to Charlotte: PLEASE don't use the past tense when talking about Valegro. I mean, you do see him almost every day when at home, he is still alive - right? You are scaring the fans!
Did she also ever hit him to get his legs so high? I think he would rather have spent a life in the pasture running free with other horses than to do something like that.
I doubt that abusive behavior was a one-time incident, as she calls it! She was quite comfortable with her two handed whipping of that poor horse 24 times!
@@karenhummel49 the lawyer who got the video said that his client told him that it was not only one time. There were more times she did it what the client has seen, but only one time was recorded. The client also would feel bad and it would hard to tell this, but know it was the right thing to inform the publik.
In one clip he (UK/EU) calls them pilaf pirouette And in another she (US) calls them bandenbou pirouette (sp?) Does it go by both nqmes or is there a differance im not seeing?
A piaffe is a stationary lifted trot. One pirouette was done at the trot/piaffe, the other at a canter. They are different gaits. I heard her say something like you mentioned, but I don't think there's a dressage movement by that name.
Ines Schaible You haven’t got a clue when it comes to perfect Dressage. Don’t bother commenting as you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Sounds like sour grapes to me 😥
Think you are talking about the wrong horse (heas)! Unlike many dressage horses he was not behind the vertical and if he was tense he wouldn't be able to transition so beautifully and easily between movements.

Beyond description
Great round-up. I don't think their performance at Olympia with the How Train Your Dragon music will ever be bettered.
Agreed. That was pretty much perfect.
Agree- Chills
i agree
Yep. My favourite things mashed together, horses, and HTTYD.
@@Ihaveadog230 same
There will never be another Valegro. Truly he is in a league of his own. It’s a privilege to have gotten to watch him in person in NYC
As they call him The Professor.
There's no team in the world of dressage greater than dujardin and valegro.
Sheer class, pure and simple! Enjoy your retirement Valegro, you've earned it. ❤❤
Velegro will always be the greatest horse in Dressage ❤️🤩🦄
They are my all-time favorite team! Charlotte is now doing the same great work with MSJ.
He’s a legend isn’t he. A through and through superstar!
That she loved him so, was so kind & pastured her horses speaks volumes. She & Valegro deserved their success! He was NOT a machine to her 🥰😘👍👏👏👏❤🐴❤

@@virginiarebyak6784 - 👍👍👍 I just love that she calls him Pumpkin!!! Says a lot, plus, she said he's so sweet in the stall!!
You can tell Valegro is enjoying it the entire time
He’s a showman and a ham for the camera. The best horses have the heart of an athlete. They know when it’s time to perform.
There will never be another Velegro.!!!!
Perfection!
You will go down in history, never to be forgotten.
Happy retirement Velegro.
You deserve it.
God bless❤❤❤❤❤

Valegro’s attitude is what makes him a champion apart from his athleticism. He’s such a confident, happy boi!! Love him so much
YES! He oozes star quality 💕
the horses doesnt look happy AT ALL. do you know that opening their mouth is a sign of pain?

Absolutely breathtaking
I don’t think you’ll ever get much better than this phenomenal team 🤩

Best horse and rider ever , don’t think we will see another horse like valegro 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Blueberry was such a gem. So beautifully relaxed while he and Charlotte did their routine. Wonderful Valegro!
Im so glad Valegro Is Living a great life currently!

Valegro And Charlotte is just the best partner's ever existed oh my goodness!
Absolute poetry in motion 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 BRAVO !!!!!!
Great! I could watch this video a hundred times. Valegro seemed to really enjoy performing with Charlotte. ♡
I can not watch these two without tearing up🥲 All that power under control. These two are poetry in motion🥰
I’m the same, cry every time!
The most successful and amazing duo
The fact that this horse IS and always will be the best horse of all time and people are still hating on them is so sooooo sad
Valegro and Charlotte are pure class ! ...
Blueberry really is a one of a kind!
I miss them so much
A magnificent horse and rider.
I shed tears everytime I watch Valegro!
He’s the Secretariat of dressage horses.
She'd and Vallegro are the DREAM TEAM.she has a way about herself & communicating the steps with her horse is phenomenal.
Charlotte has a unique ability to work with her horse. Valegro is the master he taught Charlotte well. Charlotte is world class with her dressage and the perfect music to match.
he NEVER swishes his tail...that shows you how relaxed, connected and how well he knows his job:)
Perfection. True Beauty.
The first dressage test shown of this video shows this horse has a lot more cadence than other horses at the same level. It makes for such a good piaffe.
Ballet dancer here. This horse knows how to plié. And he has an amazing musicality. An equine virtuoso.
What a team ❤
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!! I could watch this ALL DAY! :)
Fantastic rider, fantastic horse. Dominating team!
Absolutely gorgeous! I have never seen so much grace in my life! I’m definitely subscribing.
Heavenly music for GOD HAS BOTH his 2 beloved souls together as one they are paradise to watch thank you trainer for all you have done for these two beautiful, loving soulmates to team up ,horses are in heaven as you know

Bellísimas imágenes. Gracias
Holy mother of pearl! YALL ARE AWESOME AMAZING AND SUCH A TEAM!!!
Incredible Charlotte and Valero 🤤😍
I would of loved to see the story of how and when they bought him etc
I remember Carl brought him out at a clinic held by a horse magazine in the UK. He said he bought him cheaply as a youngster he was too small for a dressage horse. Fortunately he grew, but I remember his trot was amazing as a youngster. If you search for Carl on You tube I'm sure there's a video of the clinic floating around, Carl talks about him on it while he is been rode.
He bought him at a auction in Holland for 4000 pound. He didn't make it as a stallion so he got him cheap :)
You can read that in her autobiography
Carl says he bought him ‘cheap’ because he was small and no one else wanted him.
Charlotte is the most amazing horsewoman. She chose Gio to take to Tokyo because she knew he was resilient enough to make the trip. If only certain others had cared more for their horse than the olympic title…….
He is a beautiful horse and so magnicent in what he does.

10th like? Not bad😏 gotta say they're amazing😍
I just realized they used the audio from how to train your dragon 😭 it gave me goosebumps
And that is how to train your dragon
❤️❤️❤️
Chalo must love "How to train your dragon" hehe
Nice😍👌
In their last performance he looks like a blue roan sort of
He’s body clipped there.
Any guarantee this horse wasn't wipped?
💗

in the outro, did we see brian morton?
Dreamy.

What kind of horse is Valegro?
Dutch warmblood KWPN
Does Charlotte Dujardin act in Free Rein?
The fact that blueberry is a bay
This didn’t age well at all
poor horse
93 was it.
I don't understand why they force the horses to work with their head nearly touching their chest?
You don't force anything, you ask them to work in the correct outline, so that their whole body is being used properly.
That's not forcing if you want to see forcing look at total us and gal thats forced
Shame that they had to Geld him to improve him he would have made come cute babys
I’m early
First and early
Can you imadgine scoring over 90% omg
"Mount St John Freestyle" who tf names some of these horses 🤦♀️
Mount St John is the stable name where she was bred by Emma Blundell. Freestyle is her name.
What Sandy Shanks wrote is incorrect.

E
SOOOO glad they're not wearing the stupid Top Hats 🤮🤮🤮
Why is his mouth all foamy?
Because his jaw is relaxed, if it was tense it would be dry.
Additionally, when horses are relaxed, they salivate more. Thus having more saliva creates the foam.
BIDEN:If you nominate Obam..I mean me for President I prom....BOOOOOOM
NO thanks😑😑
Id rather watch men riders.
I like to watch good riders, doesn't matter if they're male or female.
The horse is behind the vertical and there is too much tension
What?
No there isn't and no it isn't.
@@windchaser12 you should look exactly then you would recognize
Think you are talking about the wrong horse (heas)!
Unlike many dressage horses he was not behind the vertical and if he was tense he wouldn't be able to transition so beautifully and easily between movements.
@@xhogun8578 yeah, I believe that with ease
I don’t know very much bout’ horses but that’s believable😂🤣
people that do this are on an ego trip, the horse is jumping she's just hurting him his knee's will be worn out in a few years
Considering he was retired sound and at the top of his game I’d had say his legs are worn out.
@@andiebebbington the person on that horses back is on an ego trip. just saying....
Nope
@@windchaser12 you must be on a ego trip yourself. I'm a horse vet.
He's a stud now, I'm not sure how you are getting his legs/knees aren't sound?
