Fortunato

Fortunato is a 15.3h 7 year old American Warmblood gelding. He is athletically built uphill with a sensible, willing attitude. He has three well-balanced gaits, happily accepts and gives to contact, and is responsive to the rider’s weight aids. He no vices, and has never bucked, reared, or bolted undersaddle. As an example of his fantastic attitude: the video shows his first time to be asked to canter more than three strides undersaddle (forth and fifth canter ever). He was very easy to keep on a round accurate circle, and remained relaxed and attentive to my aids. For the downward transition (as the rider), I only had to think halt, and he offered it to me.  

He is now a fun lesson horse for beginners or advanced riders and doing excellent with small jumps. 

Besides free jumping cross rails five minutes before this video was taken, this was Fortunato's first time free jumping. He naturally has superb jumping form.

As shown from the video he is very sensible. He has also been ridden out on trails with no problems.
