This beautiful, 5-year old licensed riding pony gelding leaves nothing to be desired in terms of sport. He is a highly interesting offer for every ambitious rider who aspires to participate in future championships.

Valerio has already impressively demonstrated his quality by winning the bronze medal in the Westphalian Championships. He received scores between 8.0 and 9.0 for trot, canter, walk, training and conformation - a complete package that couldn't have been better. At the start of this year he placed in a dressage horse test at his first show of 2023.

Particularly noteworthy is his exceptionally good walk, which is characterized by great composure, diligence and tact. In the trot, Valerio has a lot of basic drive and elasticity and gives his rider an impressive riding feeling, which is rounded off by his uphill canter, which can already be collected very nicely. Valerio has already been ridden by a young rider who attests to his great rideability an willingness to perform.

Valerio has been professionally trained from the very beginning and is now on the safe path to elementary class. He is also regularly jumped for gymnastic purposes and, in accordance with his pedigree, also shows an appealing quality here. As a two-year-old, Valerio was already convincing in both basic gaits and jumping. At the Westphalian licensing, he was awarded the title of licensed stallion, but he has been gelded to be focused on sport. His pedigree leaves nothing to be desired.

His sire Vincenzo NRW was the winner of his licensing, placed in the finals of the Bundeschampionat and was state champion in Schleswig-Holstein. In the meantime, this stallion is based in England. His sire Vincent was Vice Westphalian Champion in dressage and qualified for the finals in dressage ponies and jumping ponies at the Bundeschampionat. Vincenzo's dam line includes Piccola (winner Finnish showjumping championchips), Tassja (Bundeschampion mare), Viscount, Top Champy and Power Girl (Winner Finnish Showjumping Championships 2077 & 2008).

Valerio's dam Donna Carolina is a direct daughter of the star sire FS Don't Worry out of a dam by FS Golden Highlight. Valerio's direct dam line has produced numerous successful ponies in breeding and sport, including Classic Dancer (Bundeschampion), Glück auf A (Vice Bundeschampion), FS Daddy Cool (Bundeschampion), Dallmayr K, FS Don't Worry Junior (Bundeschampion), Der kleine König (Bundeschampion) and Genesis B (Vice Bundeschampion) as well as many others.

A once in a lifetime opportunity for his new rider who can find with this pony the right partner for the FEI sport at the highest level.

We would like to see a family for Valerio who, with further encouragement, can help him reach his full potential.

Valerio goes easily on the trailer and in the van. Knows solarium, washing area and treadmill. Enjoys daily time on paddock and pasture.

Valerio's x-rays (including back) are available.

Located in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Approx. 1 hour from Hamburg airport.
