The stallion
Valerian came to Orvaine as a three-year-old and never left. Competed to 1.60 m Grand Prix level, he combines a powerful, elastic canter with the kind of ride-ability that amateurs and professionals alike describe as generous. His offspring now jump internationally on three continents, and almost all of them share his best gift: a willing, sensible mind.
