Description
Charlotte Dujardin and her charismatic horse Valegro literally burst onto the international dressage scene with their performance at the London Olympics in 2012, where they broke the previous Olympic record. The young woman with a dazzling smile and a horse that danced beneath her captivated the world and is considered the best dressage rider of her time. In this book, Charlotte tells her personal story from the moment she started riding at the age of two. At that time, dressage was the domain of the wealthy – it was not part of the life of the middle-class people into which the girl was born. However, her parents managed to make many sacrifices and provided her with as many opportunities as possible. Charlotte left school at sixteen to dedicate herself to dressage and competition. At 22, she was offered a job as a groom for British Olympic rider Carl Hester. There, she also met her four-legged partner Valegro, who changed her life. The book is the story of an outsider, an extraordinary horse, and their incredible bond that together took them to the top.
