NEWENT'S Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro broke their own dressage freestyle world record as they once again lit up the London International Horse Show at Olympia.

The reigning Olympic, world and European champions were crowned Reem Acra FEI World Cup winners in London for a third successive year.

It was the combination's second world record in 24 hours after setting new figures for the grand prix discipline.

Dujardin broke Dutch rider Edward Gal's freestyle world-best with a score of 93.975 per cent at Olympia 12 months ago, but that was increased to 94.300 following another breathtaking display.

It means the world number one partnership will go into 2015 holding every major dressage world title and all three of the sport's world records - grand prix, grand prix special and freestyle.

The Gloucestershire rider continues to set relentless standards and they will head into next year's European Championships as red-hot favourites for more gold medal success.

Dujardin, who finished fourth in the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award behind Lewis Hamilton, Rory McIlroy and Jo Pavey, and Valegro received a standing ovation from a capacity 8,000 crowd as they left the arena.

"He just tries so hard to always get it right," Dujardin said of Valegro.

"It was such a fantastic feeling in there and the standing ovation was incredible. To get that reception was very special."

At the British Equestrian Writers' Association awards, Valegro was again voted horse of the year.
