Valverde NRW added to his collection of titles last year with his third triumph at the Westphalian Championships. With his trainer Eva Möller, he received a 9.0 for each of his three gaits and the overall impression! At the German Championships, he convincingly won the qualifier for the final (9.0) and also received high individual scores in the final: for the “super energetic trot, which is incredibly powerful, dynamic and uphill” and for the walk “with fantastic rhythm and stretch” each a 9.0. Commentator Dr. Dietrich Plewa also praised Valverde’s “canter with three clear beats and flying changes with a clear jump through the body and a lot of expression” and attested to Valverde’s “outstanding talent”. He finished fourth with an overall score of 8.5 against very strong competition. He was then selected to represent Germany at the World Championships for young dressage horses, however, this championship could not take place due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Valverdestarted his career in 2016 as Westphalian Champion Stallion and the following year completed his stallion performance test in Denmark as the third best dressage stallion with a total score of 9.23 (10 for walk, character and conformation).
