"We are not selling Valegro", Carl Hester
Carl Hester and Roly Luard, Valegro's joint owners have confirmed that Valegro will not be sold.The 5 gold medal winning horse will stay at Carl's UK yard and Charlotte Dujardin will continue to ride him. She said via Facebook on 31st December "What a great end to my year to hear blueberry and I will stay together forever."
Carl Hester believes that Valegro could well have another 5 or 6 years in top competition and that hecould “be better from a technical point of view”.
His owners are now "looking at best way of forming a small syndicate that would benefit us all.” “It’s not an investment opportunity as we are not selling Valegro, but it’s for someone that wants to be part of owning him and seeing through Rio and the rest of his career."
