It then said "other famous stallions to win Olympic gold include Valegro". But Valegro wasn't a stallion.
I searched myself and 1972 was the last time a stallion won Olympic dressage gold (a Swedish stallion called Piaff).
It offers up non-facts with such surety.
AI is a man down the pub.

These are two of the dressage horses that won Team GB their historic first ever gold at London 2012, Uthopia, 25, and Valegro, 24, (Valegro remaining the greatest dressage horse of ALL TIME, bought for £3500 coz he was "unremarkable"). Valegro looks basically the same, Uthopia HAS NO TEETH. Enjoy!

I thought I had a gig tonight and it turns out I don't and that means I've got THE WHOLE SATURDAY OFF. I might stream on Twitch tonight. I might not. I can choose my damn oyster! Celebrating this with a cuppa in this Valegro mug.

Yesterday it was announced that the greatest dressage horse of all time, Valegro had been put to sleep alongside his former teammate. fellow Olympic gold medallist and absolute best mate, Uthopia. I cried so much I gave myself eye eczema. Anyway, behold, the Lionel Messi of dressage.

I asked his stupid AI "when did a stallion last win Olympic dressage individual gold?" and it said "Valegro was last stallion to win Olympic gold in 2012."
Valegro wasn't a stallion.
Valegro last won Olympic gold in 2016.
The last stallion to win was Piaff in 1972.

Valegro was an overlooked young horse. He was considered pretty unremarkable and was bought for £3500 which is what I paid for my Hyundai i10 and, let me tell you, that thing has NEVER won a single Olympic medal.

Me: "In my new stand-up show I won't have any dressage content"
Me ten minutes later: "I CAN NAME EVERY DRESSAGE INDIVIDUAL GOLD MEDALLIST FROM MEMORY GOING BACK SIXTY YEARS AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO LOOK IT UP, WATCH: Paris 2024 - Dalera, Tokyo 2021 - Dalera, Rio 2016 - Valegro, London 2012..." etc

Sad news, but it was certainly a gift to watch both of these horses dance 🫶

Please could you do Valegro?

It's not the best bargain I've ever heard of....Carl Hester bought Valegro for £3500 as a quick sell-on-for-a-bit-of-a-profit project...and kept him because he turned out to be the greatest dressage horse of all time and won THREE Olympic gold medals.

And that’s just 5. Do you know how many more are somehow firmly implanted in my brain, the brain that forgets the day of the week and if I’ve eaten today, birthdays, appointments, what I did a year ago…
But Man O’ War? Firmly remembered. Seabiscuit. Totilas. Valegro. Godolphin Arabian. All there.

Now THIS is an easy choice! Potentially my favourite OF in my collection, and I don't even usually *like* decorators! He's not going anywhere, though. Bury him with me when I die 😂 #modelhorse
