This horse WILL go down as one of the greatest in history.....

Valegro looks like he's flying during extended trot doesn't he? 😍

The test that made Charlotte and Valegro Charlotte and Valegro

I remember watching this test in my best friend's front room, we were both stunned by the incredible connection between Charlotte and Valegro, they make olympic dressage look as easy as a morning warm-up. I've always been a showjumper at heart, but this really opened my eyes to the artistry and skill of dressage. I now train my own horses thoroughly in dressage techniques, flexion, and collection before taking to the jumping ring. The difference it makes is phenomenal. There really is so much that can be learned by riders in any discipline from riding flatwork. Thank you Charlotte and Valegro for sharing your talent with the world, inspiring us all, and bringing home a slew of titles for Great Britain! We love you!

Possibly the best extended trot of all time. Makes me emotional every time I see it

True legends right there. Were the duo that introduced me to dressage. 💞

It seems so effortless but it's really not. It's a hard work and skills that take years to learn, so if you have no idea about equestrian, just don't comment

what a team - the thought of the years of training, the cost not just in money but time, work, etc., sure deserved teh gold medal

Never be another one like this fabulous Valegro!!!!

And yet the horses I ride refuse to canter without spooking or tripping 😂😂😂

lmao sitting here dying bc as a jumper my horse can't even do a side pass

I'm watching this now in 2021 and burst out crying at how beautifully done it was, the music for it was perfect, the setting, the test, everything about it was a wonderful privilege to watch

There has never been a better extended trot

The extended trot is the best I've ever seen ! It's like his hooves dont touch the floor 😍

Literal tears in my eyes this is impeccable 😭😍😍

I know nothing about the equestrian world, but he makes me cry every time I see him perform or compete. Huge amount of work has gone into this and he’s such a special horse in the first place.....that’s obvious.

I know nothing about this but watching it made me so happy 🤗

Still watching this every now and then because it is all kinds of excellent. Charlotte's seat is just phenomenal and I love how effective and deliberate her aids are. Then there's Valegro who's just an absolute star, and the exceptional partnership between these two... Such an inspiration, and such a well-deserved gold medal too!

I was there at the Hartpury Festival of Dressage at their last competition before the Olympics and first time competing with this test, the first time they broke the record... The stunned silence at the end, its like the entire arena was electrified and I still get goose bumps every time I watch this test. True icons, it'll go down in history.

Dressage is so beautiful to watch, it's so underrated

That was breathtaking!

I could sit and watch this for hours. I absolutely love it.

Such incredible footwork. A beautiful magnificent horse.

that horse is truly dancing and it is beautiful

What a beautiful horse!!!

This is the first time i am seeing something like this. How do you teach a horse to do that😲 i am so impressed.

I'll never forget the first time I saw Charlotte Dujardin. She was competing in the 2012 Olympics. I was pretty young at the time and didn't know who she was, but as I watched her, there was something special about her and her horse. They had a bond like no other. Their bond is like magic. When the Breyer, Valegro, released I had no idea that it was her horse. I haven't purchased Valegro yet and haven't gotten a close look at him, so I didn't know his story. Then a while later, I found her book and knew it was her. I was so happy when I finally remembered her name. I was very excited when I found out her horse was Valegro. She's a very talented rider and honestly, a huge inspiration. She's a rider that will never be forgotten. Her bond with her horse is incredible!

What we call a "pleasure" ride. Brava! Brava !! Irreplacable Talent. Poetry 💕💖

There's something so extraordinary about this partnership. Valegro seems to know all the steps and is taking Charlotte along for the ride. They move as one complete unit.

This has to be the single most British thing I have ever seen in my life and I live here.

His extended trot looks like he’s FLOATING! It’s insane

That is just beautiful. With the skipping and the beautiful canter is just amazing!!!!

why am I suddenly obsessed with watching dancing horses?

After watching this stunning horse and his intelligent athletic rider.... rather ruins it for watching other team combinations. He will be sorely missed. This is the way Dressage IS done.

Made me cry with happiness

Wow, Valegro and Charlotte really got me into Dressage. I Used to get kind of bored since I liked the idea so I would watch it but I wouldn't be entertained. But for some reason ever since I watched Charlotte and Valegro I have been addicted

Probably one of the most beautiful, exceptional horses to ever exist. He and Ms. Dujardin will go down in history.

Those two what legends.

Simply perfect. Remember watching with tears in my eyes❤

All the blood sweat and tears that goes into a performance of this calibre. Absolutely incredible and awesome. Well done to all the team behind the scenes horse and rider.

I love coming back and watching these two perform,they were so dynamic and uplifting.😊❤

3:17 incredible beauty, horse is flying over ground...

When I was 7 I thought doing half pass was amazing but watching this live honestly was the best thing EVER her skills and valegros are amazing getting to meet her was an honor too.

Bloody brilliant!!

I cried after watching this LIVE...❤️

the extended trot is amazing

I just finished reading Carl Hester's YA book series about "Blueberry", then came here straight away. I am crying with the beauty of this horse and his partnership with Charlotte. Bravo!

I always marvel how the rider is always just sitting seeming to do nothing. So subtle and delicate. ❤ I wish we had these shows close by. 😢

I don't understand this kind of horsemanship but what I do understand is the love between these two she is incredible and valegro is just mind blowing how people make a horse or sorry train a horse to dance like a ballerina is beyond me magnificent

You can't help but admire the talent, and not to mention all the hard work that goes into this

So graceful. Perfect!

Beautiful.

Did you know that Valegro’s paddock name is Blueberry! So cute 🥰

Charlotte is an amazing rider, her and blueberry “valegro” are my all time favorite team

Sends shivers down my spine!

I can watch this over and over..so much skill on show

HE WAS SO CUTE AT THE END HE DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO BUT HE FINISHED PERFECTLY 🥹

Perfection both horse and rider beautiful.

Charlotte is an absolute God and this is a match made in heaven

Beautifully done, horse and rider! Anything this beautiful and amazing, does not come easy. Thank you for showing us this!

The extended trot though 🤩

I watch this at least once a week they are just made in heaven

Ballet for Horses../Breath-taking beautifull

I JUST LOVE VALEGRO

Incredible talent both of them (rider & horse)! It's very hard work training years & must be precise. I love the bond you & the horse have working together through the training & competitions, beautiful animals!

All my co-workers talking about the Olympic dressage as if it's a joke... Me: 🤬🤦‍♀️ To be learn dressage let alone fine-tune and finesse it to this standard is a phenomenal skill which takes years of consistent practise and determination. I know dressage is a personal taste (a kind of love-it-or-hate-it scenario) but sometimes I wish the people who see no point in it would just keep quiet, because in opening their mouths it's like they're just totally undermining the time and effort these equestrians put in daily without fail to get to where they are now. Anyway this was a stunning performance and the horse is just beautiful... definitely a born performer! 😂🌠

wow, I was just looking at some horse riding dressage motivation because I want to start competing again so I searched for: equestrian dressage competition motivation, and this was the first thing to come up, truly an inspiration and I am going to fight so hard to hopefully one day be able to follow in their footprints.

She nails her transitions!

An amazing duo.

I was very lucky to be there to watch this event and to this day nothing will beat that feeling when Charlotte and Valegro performed this.

That feeling of being one with a horse is amazing....... horses are 99% spirit and one percent flesh and bone; especially when it is windy, thank you Charlotte and Valegro and my res horse Loverboy.

Valegro is brilliant!

Awesome!!

That was an excellent display of training for both horse and rider. This took years to master the ability to make it look so effortless for both. Great job!

I know nothing of dressage but I think I’m allowed to comment that I choked up at the beauty and artistry of this horse and his human. Yep, this ole’ girl from a small town in Texas was only a barrel racer on Sunday afternoons.

Soooo beautiful and touching... I can watch it over and over again...and feel every time the same pleasure 😍

That clock spin was totally in rythm

Thanks so much for the music titles. I prayed them up!

Only Kür that brings me to tears watching it. Over and over, simply astonishing 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Absolutely stunning performance. Valegro is gorgeous

Exquisite horse. Elegant rider. Fluid-Excellence! Thank you!

Absolutely fabulous 🤩...........Can't find other words for this PERFECT performance

This video is just so mesmerising I could watch it all day the way they just glide together is magical best horse and rider duo 🙌

Hours and hours of training! Beautiful and awesome, wish I and my mare were so talented.

Amazing teamwork 💕

That was magnificent! Thanks for sharing!

We miss him

Three words described Charlotte and Valegro. Poetry In Motion

I was watching the dressage at last year's London Horse Show, I thought I had been watching it for about 45 minutes it was actually over 2 hours. Done well dressage can be mesmerising. It was the Brit clean sweep with Charlotte, Lottie Fry and Becky Moody. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same top 3 and order in Paris at the Olympics

I just got into watching dressage, and I'm stoked, my friends say it's boring but since I was little I always thought horses where such magnificent creatures and really admired people who genuinely cared for them. I'm 20 now and I haven't ride a horse in years.

Valegro's front hooves look like they don't even touch the ground in the extended trot!

I have enjoyed show jumping and eventing for a long time but never really took much notice of dressage. I thought, at the time it's only a horse that can walk fancy and was a sport for snobs, then along came Charlotte and Valegro. I purely by chance saw the London Olympics test, this one, live, loved it and did a bit of research and discovered just how much skill and trying it takes for both horse and rider. After learning more about it if I can I will watch any dressage event that I can.

I love how on beat they were😂😘

Majestic. Truly Majestic.

Just beautiful

Stunning! I had to return for another look

The rider is perfect!!!! The horse is so nice and great!!!!!

Anyone who believes riding is an easy sport... Get up there in the saddle. Years and years of training! I take my hat off to Charlotte!

¡Que animal extraordinario!, el caballo también.

This is such a great video
