Whether you're looking to get back in the dressage saddle, need a trustworthy mount to go down the trail, or prioritize a family safe mount for everyone to enjoy— Dante is the one. Dante checks every box — and then some. He’s gentle, quiet, and truly family-safe — kid-friendly, granny-safe, and a steady confidence booster for riders of all levels. Whether you're hitting the trails, giving walk-trot lessons, or stepping into the dressage ring, Dante delivers with kindness, patience, and heart. Imported from the Netherlands in 2020, Dante has a resume as impressive as his pedigree. He earned the prestigious STER predicate, awarded only to Friesians that demonstrate superior conformation, movement, and breed quality. Prior to import, he consistently scored in the upper 60s to 70s at 3rd Level Dressage, with three points in Z1, under numerous licensed judges across the Netherlands.
