Gelding for sale

Elegant 5-year-old chestnut SBS gelding (born in 2021), standing approximately 1.78 m tall, this young sport horse is currently being broken in and is beginning to build his sporting career in a structured and professional environment.

Coming from renowned dressage bloodlines, Portofino de la Comogne is by For Ferrero, a stallion known for his frame, strength, and movement. His dam, Ivresse (SBS), is a direct daughter of the famous Weltmeyer (Hanoverian, DEU) , a world-renowned sire known for passing on power, scope, expressive movement, and a dressage-oriented temperament.

This genetic makeup is clearly reflected in its model and functioning.

With a modern and powerful build, good size, bone structure, and a true sporting orientation, he displays three expansive gaits, with energy and expressive movement. His functional physique and natural presence suggest real potential in dressage.

Having recently completed his initial training, he is currently in the process of consolidating his basic skills. He is working with a professional to establish a clear framework, stabilize his behavior, and calmly guide him through his first steps under saddle.

This is a sensitive and responsive horse, requiring tact and consistency. Therefore, it needs a calm, experienced rider capable of accurately guiding its progress.

Under saddle, he already shows responsiveness, quality of locomotion and an interesting potential for balance for his age and stage of work.

Portofino is a sensitive young horse, with blood and a real quality of functioning.

Refined in his aids, responsive, and energetic, he requires precise, calm, and consistent riding. With proper guidance, he demonstrates willingness and commitment to his work, showing promising progress considering his stage of development.

It would be ideally suited to an experienced or professional rider, capable of guiding a sensitive young horse in building its foundations.

• to a professional wishing to develop a young horse with structure and potential
• to an experienced and supervised rider, comfortable with sensitive horses
• to a project geared towards competitive dressage, with a progressive development
• to a medium/long-term development project

This is a horse in the early stages of training, offering interesting physical and genetic qualities, but requiring structured work to stabilize.
