Talented & Dynamic 4.5yo Lusitano gelding from some of the best Portuguese bloodlines. Excellent gaits and a great brain. A '10' extended walk and a big ground-covering uphill canter are just some of his many highlights. Paradiso ('Rizzo') has a solid and correct dressage foundation and is suitable for an amateur or young rider, but with all the talent for a pro! He currently schools 1st/2nd level with easy laterals and a single change well started. Rizzo shows all the talent to move up the level to Grand Prix, and no doubt he will really shine in the pirouette/piaffe/passage work. He is extremely comfortable to sit and rides in a simple snaffle with a lovely soft, correct 'to the contact' way of going. With his strong, compact build, Rizzo is a great size for most riders. He currently stands 16.1h and is expected to finish 16.2 (rider in video is 5'5"). Located in Ocala 10 min from the new World Equestrian Center (WEC).
