Offspring 2004 (foals)
Timeless showed sufficiently developed foals. The foals are riding type, well shaped but they should be have a little more length in the body.
The head is shaped well and expressive. The poll has good length. The neck has sufficient length, nice shape and much muscling in the topline. The wither is more than sufficient in length and development. The shoulder has correct position and length. The back is sometimes a little short. The loins are strong and well connected. The croup has sufficient length and muscling. The hamstring should be longer. The foreleg is long, sometimes a little straight, sometimes toed out and sometimes a bit fragile. The stance of the hindleg is mostly correct but sometimes a little straight. The base has quality but varies in substance.
The walk is pure, has sufficient scope but somewhat lacks suppleness. The foals are light footed in the trot with much self-carriage and go nicely uphill. The use of the hindleg is good. The foals by Timeless jump easily into the canter and have sufficient scope but lack a little suppleness.
In short: A uniform group of foals. The foals have much charm but should sometimes have longer lines. They show much self-carriage in the trot with good use of the hindleg. The walk and canter are sufficient in scope but should have more suppleness.
