FEI dressage prospect Vivaldi V, KWPN gelding bred by Bert Rutten in Holland. Vivaldi is a super talented 5-year-old who will become a dressage star. Vivaldi has shown lightly in 2007 at Second and Third Levels as well as the FEI 5-Year-Old classes. Scores of 71% at Third level and 69% at Second Level and High Point Score for Third Level all first placings. Vivaldi V gained an impressive 8.0 and first place in April and a 7.54 for Fifth place in the USA East Coast Finals at the CDI Raleigh in June.

Vivaldi is a magnificent horse with three exceptional gaits and is a pleasure around the barn and easy to ride and train. Vivaldi has only had one owner since importation from Holland and is regretfully for sale to offset training costs. Vivaldi V will show at Fourth Level and FEI 6-Year-Old classes in 2008. Vivaldi V shows a cadenced trot with big extensions, and a talent for short steps and baby passage. The canter is big and clean and he has flying changes down to three tempis. The walk is clear, marching and relaxed. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase an imported, talented FEI potential dressage prospect suitable for the ambitious Young Rider, a serious Adult Amateur training with a dressage professional or a Professional with an eye to future FEI competition in 2009. Vivaldi V is 100% sound, loves his job and has a great future ahead of him.

Update! - The 2008 season in Florida is well underway. Vivaldi has won two FEI Young Horse 6-year-old classes in Wellington with scores up to 78%. He gained a 85% for canter in one of the shows with Lilo Fore and Marianne Ludwig. Vivaldi has won and placed at Third level with scores up to 70%.
