Offspring report
Offspring 1984 (foals)
On the average this stallion showed well-developed offspring, a few lacked a bit in development. The foals could be built a little more riding type, however, the selected were in better type than the picked. Moreover, the foals have refinement and hardness. The head is well formed and expressive. The topline of the neck is always good, sometimes the neck is a little deep from the chest. The wither has sufficient length but has to grow longer; the selected foals were better. Especially the picked foals should have more slope in the shoulder, the selected foals did have more well-placed shoulders. The back/loin formation should be stronger. The croup is always well formed and well muscled. The foreleg has a well-developed knee. There were both toed-in and toed-out forelegs, and sometimes it is a little straight. The hock of the picked foals could be better. The foals could have more suppleness and scope in the walk and the hock could show more bend. The trot is good, with remarkably nice use of the foreleg because of a slight bend in the knee, without getting round. The trot has sufficient scope but the hindlegs should come underneath more convincingly, especially the picked foals. The foals like to present themselves.
Shown: 21 foals out of 90 breedings.
Keur 1991
Voltaire was awarded the keur predicate because he visibly passes on performance talent. The fact that he has five approved sons that have proven themselves in sport also contributed to this decision. With good reliability of 76% he already takes a 21st place in the index with 131 points even though he is still a relatively young stallion. That he is multi talented is shown by the fact that he has a reliability of 61% on the dressage index with 125 points. The stallion committee wanted to express the value of this stallion to the breeding program by eliminating the "first three-year approval term".
Preferent 1995
With a fourth place (129 points) on the jumping index and an extremely high reliability of 93% it has been determined how important this stallion is. Moreover he scores as high (129 points with 85% reliability) on the dressage index. He has already produced eight approved stallions. Of the 267 studbook mares, 122 are ster and 36 are keur. He strongly passes on conformation in regards to length and placement of the shoulder and croup.
