Stilliazato is a 2006 16.3 hand German Oldenburg gelding sired by Stedinger, the unequivocal approval winner of the 2002 Oldenburg Stallion Days. Stedinger is the son of the famous Sandro Hit, National Young Horse Champion — Young Dressage World Champion — unique producer performance Sandro Hit progeny are breaking all price-records, are annually winning championships and are Approval Champions. His first offspring are already successful at World Cup level Vato has beautiful big movement, is very athletic, and a quick learner. He is walk/trot/cantering under saddle, and jumping 2'6" courses with a natural auto lead change. Goes on the bit, hacks out cross country, and has been to a few local horse shows, with a great attitude. Super quiet, not spooky at all, no vices, and doesn't have "young horse moments"! Vato is extremely supple in his body, and loves to work and learn new things. He is super easy to handle, has good barn manners, crossties, bathes, stands for the farrier, etc. He is an excellent and very fancy amateur dressage or local hunter prospect! **Update-Vato was pre-purchased in August, 2011, which showed that he had a small spur on one of his stifles. He passed all joint flexions, including hock/stifle flexions, but his spur may require some maintenance in the next 3-5 years, depending on the level of work he will be in. Hence, the reason for the decreased price. He is 100% sound at this time and there is no reason he cannot be a competitive future show horse. X-rays will be available, should you want your vet to look at them before pursuing him. Phone calls are better than emails 610-613-1576.
