Dolce Vita     1 year old

Very flashy yearling filly by Olympic Games Horse Orestus! Dam is by Flagmount King x Clover Hill.

Her Sire Orestus is a world class stallion that has competed at the highest level including Olympic Games, CSI**** and Puissance! A stunning looking stallion with lots of quality and top class pedigree such as Indoctro x Ramiro Z x Erdball XX. Orestus is the best horse I have ever ridden in my life. Since the first time I sat on his back, it was an unbelievable feeling as his style of jumping and scope are something special.imageHe is such a big character. No matter how big and wide the fences are, he fights for you and always gives 110% in the ring. For myself, I felt lucky to have the chance to ride a horse with his qualities which made me very confident jumping at my first Olympic Games.And if I need to do it again, I will choose Orestus. No doubt about it.- Juan Andres Rodriguez Orestus is one of a handful of Irish-based stallions to have competed at the Olympic Games! His career, competing up to 1.60m level, saw Orestus in action around the world from the Pan-Am Games in Rio de Janeiro to the Beijing Olympics.Orestus had the versatility to place in a variety of classes from Puissance to 1.50m classes at international shows such as Madrid, s’Hertogenbosch and Oslo in Europe; in World Cup qualifiers, (placed sixth in the 2007 Monterrey qualifier, won by Hong Kong silver medallist, Ninja) and at the 2007 Pan American Games (individual 15th place & member of the sixth-placed Guatemala team).Orestus, with Juan Andrés Rodriguez, also claimed 42nd place at the 2008 Olympics
