Dontino

Listing Overview

Dontino is the kind of 12-year-old gelding who makes the 3'3" to 3'6" hunters feel manageable rather than stressful. His record shows consistent performance in the adult amateur divisions, along with derby rounds and adult equitation classes, and his trainability shines through in the details: he can take a bad distance and still complete the lines, he's handy enough to navigate tight turns, and he moves with the kind of big step and scope you'd expect from a taller horse. What really sets him apart is his temperament. He doesn't hold grudges when things don't go perfectly, he loves attention and affection like a backyard pet, and he's steady enough that riders hack him bareback in just a halter. If you're an amateur looking for a push ride who won't punish mistakes but still has the step and jump to be competitive, he's the type who builds confidence every time you sit on him.
