Offspring report
A uniform collection of sufficiently to more than sufficiently developed foals, with more than sufficient dressage horse conformation. The neck is placed vertically, with a slight underneck. The foals use their necks well in movement. The hind leg is usually straight. The walk has sufficient scope but poor elasticity. The trot has more than sufficient scope. The canter has more than sufficient scope and balance. The hind leg needs to step under the body more actively and carry more. The quality of the dams was average. The collection consisted of 10 foals which were invited by the KWPN.
Dorado can add movement and rideability to dressage horse breeding. Mares bred to him should have "blood" and uphill conformation.

Conformation
Dorado is a well-developed stallion with more than sufficient dressage horse conformation. The head is attractive, with a large eye. The poll has sufficient length. The neck has more than sufficient length and good muscling but comes out deep from the chest. The shoulder is straight but has good length. The wither is more than sufficiently developed and has more than sufficient length. The back has sufficient length and more than sufficient muscling. The loins are slightly tight.

Lineage
Dorado is a son of the Grand Prix dressage stallion Krack C. Dorado's dam is the keur mare Zinni van de Westen. This Rousseau daughter is out of the ster preferent mare Lotus, a daughter of the dressage horse sire Donnerhall. Next in the dam-line is the renowned ster preferent prestatie mare Charites. She produced Nadine (s.TCN Partout), the mare which Hans Peter Minderhoud is competing successfully in the Grand Prix. In addition, Charites is the dam of the approved KWPN stallion Kroonjuweel (s.Belisar), two ZZ-advanced level horses, and five Z-level dressage horses. The dam-line continues with the keur preferent prestatie mare Lies (s.Eros) and the kroon preferent mare Fresia (s.Wachtmeester).

Dorado is an honest and reliable stallion with a very good temperament. He is very willing to work and has very good trainability. The walk is pure and active with good scope. The trot has good scope but needs more carriage. The canter is powerful with good to very good scope. Dorado moves with more than sufficient to abundant elasticity and good body position and balance. He has abundant to very abundant talent for dressage and gives his rider a good feeling.
