How is Corlando's movement? (and his foals)

I've had a little trouble getting in touch with the owner, so I figured I'd ask here in the meantime. I LOVE his jump, but how does he (and his foals) move? Hunter types? Any chance someone knows of an online video clip?

Thanks!

I am waiting for my DVD. I have been waiting for a while. I love his looks, can't wait to see him in action. Good luck getting hold of Talley.

Talley is usually very good about getting back in touch with people. Try her in the evenings...

Corlando himself is an athletic mover. Not a bad mover, but a little bit "more" than the ideal hunter movement. My 4yo by him is a hunter. She has the scope for the jumper ring, but the form and movement for the hunters. Would she win the hack at Indoors? Probably not. Will she place well in company? Definitely. Of the other Corlando foals I have seen, which is quite a few - and all of them that have been born at Triad Farm, they are typically good movers, free through the shoulder, good reach behind. Definitely above average on the hunter scale.

And though you didn't ask I do have to say that he and his babies have the best personalities. They are friendly and curious and smart.

I have a Corlando mare in my broodmare band and she is a better than average mover but like Kinsella said she wouldn't win the hack in top company. She has a fantastic jump.

I bought a Corlando foal because I found a pedigree, combined with an awesome mare, of such great jumping talent, temperment and better than average movement, that I am destined to be a winner in the hunter ring :) :) . I buy for performance :clap: . Great jumpers on average are not 10 movers - I voted for the great jumper!
