Nakato van Stal Romano

About this horse

$35,000 - $50,000 Disciplines: Hunter, Jumper, Equitation, Eventing, Dressage, Ponies Nakato is an 8 year old 16 hand registered, imported, KWPN gelding. He has a beautifully compact body with strong bones and sizable feet, giving him a bold, fast, and agile jump, but also has incredible athleticism that allows him to make short, quick turns with ease. His jumping technique is extraordinary, and his size is deceiving - riders of many different heights (from 5'2" to 6' - rider in videos is 5'9") all can ride him comfortably and not look awkward. He has an adjustable stride, listens to a leg, and has a soft mouth - currently riding in a snaffle. His mentality toward his work is unmatched, always willing to step in the ring and come off the ground when you need. He has phenomenal balance and will auto-change for comfort, or can be held on a lead as needed. He is sensible and not spooky, but is used to a rider with some education (would not be suitable for total beginner). Sushi gets along well with other horses and requires no maintenance even while showing. Show prep is simple - hop right on if you want, or let him longe himself for you. He clips (with a twitch for the ears only), bathes, stands on a cross tie, ground ties (unless there are treats nearby), loads, travels well, stands for the farrier (shod on all 4 feet), and has no vices. He is full of personality though - mischievous, playful, and very loving, Sushi is a cuddle bug that wants to be in your pocket and will do anything for a treat (especially mini Starburst). Sushi has a successful show record in the jumper and hunter rings, including many year-end awards. Vet records will be released for serious inquiries. All papers are with the current owner. Sushi's primary rider is now married, starting a family, and is moving away. We are sad to see him go, but we know he will make someone very happy wherever he winds up!
