Dante is a 2007 Black imported KWPN gelding by Dayano (Dolany/Donnerhall) out of the Elite Sport mare Upendo (Jazz/Wolfgang/Ramiro Z) bred by Van Oorst in Holland.

Dante has a lovely correct walk and expressive medium and extended gaits. He is a very comfortable horse to sit, light in the contact in both the snaffle and double bridle. Schooling 3rd+ including changes, 1/4 pirouettes, and half pass in the trot and canter. Dante is a forward, athletic, sensitive ride that is fun to ride each and every day with a lot to teach his next Dressage partner!!

Dante travels well and is completely sound, with no maintenance needed. He passed an extensive US import vet check with flying colors when imported from Europe. Full vet history, as well as full set of X-rays from import as well as previous owners PPE in 2014, and a pre-purchase report with video are available.

Show experience at training and 1st level as a 5 and 6 year old in Europe, but had no further dressage training until import due to change of ownership to a non competitive rider. Current owner is a lower level dressage rider but Dante recently returned from a 6 month lease by a JR/YR who showed him 2nd level at national shows reaching almost 70%. Dante has a great presence in the show arena!

It is not possible to say enough about Dante’s puppy dog personality, he loves his people, and loves attention.

Dante can be seen in Loxahatchee, Florida.
