Maestoso II Catrina ("Tony") is a White Horse Vale -bred Stallion owned by Thomas and Shana Ritter. Trained to Advanced Dressage, he recently participated in the 20067 and 2006 WHV Open House and the 2006 National Lipizzan Symposium "Work-in-Hand" Exhibitions. His specialties are the piaffe, levade, and courbette, as well as work at the longrein.

Tony is a baroque stallion of the traditional, classical type. He passes on his excellent character and temperament, as well as his correct classical type and excellent bone and substance. He has three excellent, powerful gaits and he consistently passes these on as well. He is an excellent choice for breeders wishing to add more bone and substance as well as preserve the baroque classical type in their program. He will be available in 2008 to outside mares via live cover or fresh, cooled transported semen.

2008 Stud Fee: $1500.00 LFG - Fresh, cooled Semen Available.
