Gigolo FRH

Gigolo FRH[1] (1983 – 23 September 2009) was a liver chestnut Hanoverian gelding, ridden for Germany by Isabell Werth in dressage competitions.

At the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, they repeated the team performance, while improving to take the individual gold medal.

[2] In 1991, Gigolo made his European Dressage Championship debut at Donaueschingen, Germany, where he and Werth took both individual and team gold.

They repeated this double gold feat three times – in 1993 at Lipica, Slovenia; in 1995 at Mondorf, Luxembourg; and in 1997 at Verden, Germany.

[5] During his frequent musical kur performances, Gigolo was known for his elasticity – the pair's signature move was a transition from an extended canter directly to a pirouette.
