Expressive, kind eyes.
Conformation March 2007, still has his winter fuzzies and a little out of shape. He will quickly become defined with exercise.
I see girl horses!
Hind end, he's twisting a little, but he's very straight and symmetrical. Great heart shaped butt! AWSOME tail.

Sweetest stallion in the world! Groom him in the field, clip his ears, pull his mane, hose off his face, never a complaint!
Hind legs
front feet. He has a minor superficial crack in his right front. Has never caused a problem. He has gone barefoot 90% of his life. He has great feet. He's due to be trimmed here, he hasn't been trimmed in three months!
Still looking for girls...

Rio is sold, but we still have three very nice young prospects by this fabulous stallion (see Tootles, Oryssia, and Dark Star). Rio has TONS of presence, awesome ability and a "best friend" disposition. He is a 16.2H, well-conformed, uphill moving stallion with great conformation and he is VERY sound. He passes all of these characteristics on to his offspring. He is sired by Koning, a popular imported dressage stallion. He looks like a full blooded baroque style Freisian. This horse can move! He has super comfy gaits and shows plenty of scope free jumping.
Rio's grand dam, Setske F, produced the 2006 Friesian Stallion Champion in Holland! Congratulations Setske F!
