Pago Pago is a well built and athletic gelding who received a First Premium rating from the Oldenburg Verband. He has very elastic uphill movement with a free shoulder and excellent drive from behind. He seemed destined to be a first class dressage horse until the first time he was put through a jump chute. There we found he was not only able to collect and extend to find a proper approach to the fences, but was also able to clear a four foot oxer without effort. Right now we are concentrating on his dressage training. He received a 68% at his first show. While his score was excellent for his first time in the ring the best part was his attitude. He came off the trailer, took one walk around, and was ready to go to work. He required no lunging and was ready to go to work.
While we plan to concentrate on his flatwork for the next year or two, he is talented enough to undertake a career in any Olympic discipline. His half brother El Dorado is showing Level 6 Jumpers and is preparing to move in to Grand Prix.
