The FEI World Cup dressage competition at Olympia tonight was followed by a retirement ceremony for Valegro, the 14-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding who, together with his rider Charlotte Dujardin, has become a legend in the sport over the last five years.
Together the British partnership reset Olympic and world records during an extraordinary career in which they collected three gold medals from two Olympic Games, double-gold at the FEI World Equestrian Games, became FEI World Cup™ Dressage champions twice and scooped four individual and one team gold medal at European Championships.
