Wellington, FL -  - The audience at the World Dressage Masters on Saturday evening Jan 26, 2013 at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center will be in for something quite unexpected. Before commencing the popular Freestyle Competition at 7:00 pm, the newly released documentary movie trailer "Valiant: Life Is A Horse" will be premiered.

This is the true story of Jeanette Sassoon's 26 year old blind horse Valiant who competed last season in the Prix St. George scoring 65.78% and placing 6th out of 15 horses here in Wellington, the horse capital of the US. Valiant and Jeanette will follow the trailer with a musical freestyle performance to the documentary's title song "Follow Your Heart" accompanied live on piano by the acclaimed composer/musician Eric Bikales.

"Valiant: Life Is A Horse" is an undertaking of love to the legacy of Valiant. As life lessons unfolded, Jeanette and Valiant traveled from the highest levels of dressage to the wide open spaces of Wyoming touching the hearts and lives of many great horsemen such as John Lyons and Michael Poulin, as well as hundreds of other supporters.

"We are excited to have the opportunity to support such an event" comments John Flannigan of Wellington Classic Dressage, the World Dressage Masters sponsor.

"Valiant gave his sight, so others could see". "He opened up a new world for me...understanding there are reasons for everything and opportunities to grow from them. I think the most important gift he's given me is trust and believing in myself ...finding that unwavering friend that lives within each of us. Valiant is just another way of how the universe works when you have faith." Commented Jeanette about what she and others have learned from Valiant.

The movie trailer "Valiant - Life is a Horse" is the launch of campaign to raise awareness about our relationship with horses at a deeper level. We invite you to join us along with Adequan, Polo Gear, Verhan and many others and visit www.valiantdocumentary.com.
