Bred, reared and trained at Stable Hexagon in The Netherlands, Gorgeous Latino was originally named Latino.

He was first presented at the 2019 KWPN Stallion Licensing but rejected in the second phase. He received the “Gorgeous” prefix when he was licensed with the smaller Dutch NRPS studbook. He was the high scorer of the 2020-2021 NRPS Stallion Performance Test, scoring 10 for walk, 9 for trot and canter, 9.5 for rideability, 9 for self carriage, 9.5 for potential, 10 for willingness to work. He totalled 95 points.

Latino was trained and shown by Benedek Pachl and Thamar Zweistra at the time.
