Valegro is nothing short of a world-wide phenomenon, a horse who has taken the sporting world by storm. In an unprecedented career, he has gone from rejection to current Olympic, World and European gold and a world number one ranking – leaving a trail of broken world records in his wake.

Voted the Nations favourite horse, he has achieved international fame and admiration and has a character and intelligence that the public clearly adores.
