Description: "Cortez" (Chico): July 2007, 16.3+ hands, dark brown, gelding, Cdn/Dutch Warmblood w/papers. Extremely impressive looking animal with striking markings on his face, an outstanding mover. Although he has a wonderfully easy going and obliging attitude, he has terrific presence, natural impulsion and cadence, and an eye pleasing forward freedom in his movement which would indicate no limits to what he can achieve in dressage alone. Not four years old until July, Cortez is going very well in his basic paces and is ready to compete Training level dressage this spring. Cortez has also been started over fences and has a powerful jump. His pedigree includes Freestyle (Furioso) on the top side, and the great jumping lines of Ramiro Z and Lucky Boy on the bottom combining some of the best bloodlines in the modern Dutch, French, and German registries. Cortez is remarkably easy to handle, clips and ships. His excellent movement make him a very talented,young prospect for dressage and his scope over fences also make him suitable for a career in jumping. He has remarkable trainability for an amateur competitive level rider. His gentle, curious, trusting, and friendly personality make him a pleasure to work with. He has handled his first season of training with ease and calm rideability. He has had two owners, his breeder and the current. Cortez is very ready to go on to greater challenges and will make a wonderful partner for an amateur or young rider, but has plenty of scope for a professional.
