Flying Oaks Augusto is a handsome 5-year-old Mangalarga Marchador gelding that combines beauty, athletic ability, and the naturally smooth gait that has made the breed famous throughout the world. Standing 15 hands, Augusto is a striking bay gelding with a rich coat, black mane and tail, dark points, and an attractive star on his forehead. He possesses a balanced build, strong topline, deep heart girth, and powerful hindquarters that reflect both athleticism and durability. Professional Training In 2026, Augusto completed three months of professional training with Brazilian horseman Alan Ribeiro of Performance Horses, a trainer recognized for his understanding of gaited horses and the Mangalarga Marchador breed. This training provided Augusto with a solid foundation in handling, responsiveness, and under-saddle development while reinforcing the smooth natural gait that makes the Marchador such a pleasure to ride. The accompanying video was taken on April 18, 2026, immediately following his return from training. Movement and Disposition Augusto moves with natural balance, fluidity, and forward motion. He demonstrates the comfortable gait and athletic self-carriage that Marchador enthusiasts seek for trail riding and pleasure riding. Equally important, Augusto possesses an intelligent and willing disposition. He is attentive, people-oriented, and exhibits the calm confidence that makes the breed such an enjoyable partner for riders seeking both comfort and versatility.
