Revoltoso will be missed by so many. He was a Champion in Doma Vaquera , Dressage and Halter Competitions. He has performed at weddings, quinceñeras, parades, exhibitions, and in television and charity events. Always a crowd favorite, Revoltoso performed at Calder Race Track's "Parade of Champions" in front of thousands of spectators, and was simulcast across the country. He also performed annually at the Miami Agricultural Show with over 50,000 spectators.

He was just scheduled to appear in a movie as "The Dream Horse" character in a Spanish movie...Always an impressive presence-always a ridiculously tolerant temperament and professionalism.He did it all...High School Level Dressage
Movements (although made it clear that the lower level stuff bored him...) Doma Vaquera , Trails and camping (occasional impromptu races where he would "rocket launch" to victory...) bowing, sitting, laying down, Spanish Walk and
liberty... (Frequent evening romps around the pasture sans saddle and bridle...) ohh.. and "dog relay racing" with Diego's Boarder Collie, Shante. Great horse- magnificent to the end. He was even impressing the hospital staff...Always a performer, always a "ham"...ALWAYS a gentleman.

En Español

Revoltoso será extrañado por muchos. Él era un campeón de Doma Vaquera, Doma Clásica y Morfología. Ha actuado en las bodas, quinceañeras, desfiles, exposiciones, y en la televisión y eventos de caridad. Siempre un favorito del
público, Revoltoso se mostró en el hipódromo de Calder en el "Desfile de Campeones" ante miles de espectadores, y en transmisión simultánea en todo el país. También fue anualmente a la Feria Agrícola de Miami con más de 50.000
espectadores.

Estaba ya previsto para aparecer como personaje "El caballo de sus sueños" en una película española ... Siempre con una presencia impresionante, siempre con un temperamento tolerante y profesional. El lo ha hecho todo ... a nivel de Alta Escuela en movimientos de Doma (y dejó en claro que los niveles inferiores le aburrían...) Doma Vaquera, Senderos y Camping (carreras ocasionales improvisadas donde se lanzaba a la victoria como un cohete...) haciendo una reverencia, sentandose, y acostandose, haciendo el Paseo Español y Liberty ... (Paseos frecuentes en la noche al rededor de la pastura sin silla ni freno) .. y "carreras de relevo con perros" con Shante el Boarder Collie de Diego. Grandioso caballo, magnífico hasta el final. Impresionó incluso a el personal del hospital ... Siempre un artista, siempre la atracción ... SIEMPRE un caballero.
