My Man Vito is a striking, athletic gelding with an exceptional combination of presence, pedigree, and temperament. Vito is elegant and has three expressive gaits that make him stand out both in-hand and under saddle.

On the track, Vito earned $155,190 in 35 starts — a true testament to his soundness, heart, and consistency. He’s now confidently transitioned into his second career, successfully competing at Beginner Novice level at Mini Trials and Training Level at USDF Recognized Shows (earning scores in the high 60s), and the 2025 Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover. His versatility and composure in both disciplines highlight his athleticism, rideability, and willingness to please.

Under saddle, Vito is forward-thinking yet rideable, with a naturally rhythmic way of going and softness in the contact. He’s brave and willing over fences, learns quickly, and maintains a calm, focused demeanor in new environments.

In the barn, Vito’s personality shines through — curious, confident, and kind. He enjoys attention, is easy to handle, and has a steady, people-oriented attitude that makes him a favorite wherever he goes. 

Vito represents the best of what a Thoroughbred can be: intelligent, athletic, and endlessly willing. He’s ready to continue his development with a rider looking to produce a talented partner for sport or pleasure.
