Valegro's retirement

[Supertrooper]

So tomorrow Blueberry officially retires. What a very special horse he is and how lucky we've been to see such a legend.

Hope he has a very long retirement with people who so obviously adore him xxxx

I'm prepared to be in floods of tears! Just thinking about it makes me well up.

I was lucky enough to meet a young Valegro and we have a real attachment to him in our house.
I tried to get tickets for it but they were all sold out.

Does anyone know if it's being televised at all? If so where, what time?

I am lucky enough to live very locally to him - I drive past Charlotte's house every day on my way home from work, and I can see Blueberry hacking out in our local lanes twice a week. Truly special.....

I still have his olympic gold test saved on sky and it makes me cry every time I watch it.

He is a horse of a lifetime I will miss seeing him out but he does deserve a happy retirement.

I was nearly in tears watching him tonight. He got a standing ovation. He's just something else in the flesh - no other horse compared at the grandprix! But nip tuck came quite close.
