Carl Hester with Valegro
I met up with two gold medalists yesterday. Carl Hester MBE won gold at London 2012, and Valegro ridden by Charlotte Dujardin OBE won two golds in London, followed by gold at Rio four years later. Valegro was quite happy to wear the bowel cancer tie. It was a great meeting for the book, as Carl has had a scare with bowel cancer, so it was great to get him on board. Carl's stables in the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside were stunning, and as well as Valegro, I got to see his other Olympic medal winning horses, Uthopia and Nip Tick, who are also stabled there. Quite an experience, and one that Mum would have loved of course.
