Born on July 5,Valegro is a Dutch Warmblood gelding who stands He quickly rose to fame as he dominated the dressage world. Representing Great Britain, the pair scored After a spectacular career, Valegro retired on December 14,going down as one of the most accomplished horses in the world. Though to the world he is known as Valegro, those close to him know him as Blueberry. He got his stable name, Blueberry, when he was among a number of young horses that came from Valegro: Champion Horse to the United Kingdom. Owner Carl Hester named all the horses after fruits and vegetables and Valegro: Champion Horse just stuck with the gorgeous dark bay gelding. An honor that is only extended to a lucky few, Valegro got to meet the Queen at the Royal Windsor Show. Valegro was a true gentleman in front of the Queen, standing perfectly still while everyone was talking. The Queen gave him many compliments and expressed her love for the superstar dressage horse. It takes a team to maintain such a legendary horse. During his career, Valegro was ridden by the talented Charlotte Dujardin. As a decorated equestrian, Dujardin was the youngest member of the British dressage team at the Olympics, where she and Valegro brought home two gold medals. Courtesy of Valegro: Champion Horse.
