"Lio"  1996 Bay Paso Fino Gelding, Flying M Camelio ~ Registration #26,745
!! Attractive, Well Trained, Versatile !!

An attractive bay with black points, Lio has exceptional conformation and is of Camelio lineage. Naturally pleasure gaited he has an easy, animated corto, a ground covering largo and canter, yet transitions down to a flat relaxed walk instantly and willingly. He has excellent ground manners, shoes, bathes, saddles and ties well. Loads in trailer and travels well. He has spent time turned out on a large acreage with a mixed herd of mares and geldings from yearlings to aged horses and “plays well with others”.

He is exceptionally solid and sure footed on the trail, not easily spooked nor barn sour and rides out alone well. He handles man-made and natural terrain with sureness and ease; includes rocks, logs, steep draws, brush, live creek crossings, mud/bogs, wildlife and cattle. He is also accustomed to the ranch life with dogs & cats under feet and heavy equipment traveling close to him.

Lio has Traditional, Nontraditional and Natural Horsemanship professional training. He has logged hundreds of hours on the trail with professional and amateur riders. With a style that veers towards western classical dressage, he is light in his responses, willing, brave and wants to please his handler. Responds to rein and leg aides lightly but may be more suited to riders who have a basic understanding of horsemanship techniques.

Successfully shown; (professional & amateur) in Paso Fino shows. his winnings include Championships in Pleasure School Colt, Performance & Pleasure.
