Valegro: Champion Horse

I love this book about velegros life it's so inspirational it tells the story form the beginning to the end and in lots of Detail I am obsessed with this book worth the money

Wonderful book. I have ordered it for my daughter for Christmas.

Delightful, peek into the life of this magnificent horse. It was a pleasure to see him in person and to read the everyday life of horse, rider, owner and grooms was especially sweet. Blueberry, we may never see the likes of this horse and his rider again.

I love this book; not only does it give you the story of his life but it shows you how many people love this horse and how much he loves them. It shows you in photos him growing up and starting out and how he looks now. There are beautiful photos of him showing at the different events with various riders as he moved up the levels and their thoughts about him while they were riding him. Being a rider of 56yrs I can say that this is one of the most beautiful books about a horse I have ever read and not just because of the pictures. Valegro is so loved by so many people; some of them not even real "horse" people and he shows love to all he comes in contact with. He's funny, sweet, a hard worker, a good traveler, opinionated about some things e.g. small stalls, etc. This book will make you laugh, make you want to ride better, make you happy to have a horse even if they're not a grand champion, teach you what's important about owning and loving a horse, etc. We can't all care for them at a multi-million level but we can treat them all with love and respect. My favorite thing about this horse's story is that he wasn't sold after he won everything because they felt he would not be treated as he was used to; meaning hacked out at least 2 days a week, turned out in the field to play in the mud, meeting people that come to see him on the open days, etc. They felt he would be wrapped in bubble wrap and only go from his stall to the arena and back. Very few people in this day and age care so much for their horses that they don't sell them and that they take them back when they retire from competition as Carl does. I hope this book sheds some light on really caring for your horse as a horse not as something like a car.

i think this is a really good biography about valegrothe best dressage at the world at the Moment, i really liked readingi would recommaed this book to every dressage fan especially to fans of Charlotte dujarin and valegro..... :)
