Cosaco XI

Cosaco XI is a 16 hand 1996 grey stallion, imported from Spain in 2005. He is traditional in type, with notable aptitude for piaffe and passage. He has a gentle, affectionate personality and a moderate temperament. He knows the difference between the schooling and show rings, and enjoys rising to the occasion of competition.

He is a favorite among dressage spectators and photographers, who have used his image on websites, in articles, and numerous publications. Cosaco’s offspring are exceptional, in both conformation and movement. In 2008, Cosaco will be ridden by Janne Rumbough of Palm Beach. In Cosaco’s first year at Grand Prix, he was USDF All Breeds Horse of the Year at that level with a mean score of over 65%.
