Offspring 1993 (foals)
This 12-year old stallion that was exported to the USA after his first breeding season returned in 1992 and this year showed a collection of foals that are sufficiently to well developed and are is sufficient basic type. The head is expressive. The neck has good length, has a good topline and is also carried well. The wither is often a little flat but does have sufficient length. The selected foals had a better developed wither. The shoulder has sufficient length but is often straight. The back is rather long and the loins could be better connected. The croup has sufficient length, is well muscled but looks a little round. The stance of the foreleg is generally good, once in a while a foal is toed out. The stance of the hindleg is good. The legs are well developed and have sufficient quality. The walk is sufficient in scope. The trot also has sufficient scope and power while the foals use their neck well. The majority of the selected foals could bring their hindleg more underneath the body. Two times a deviating knee was noted and one time a straight foot. The quality of the mares was average.
In short: well-developed, sufficient basic type foals with good posture but that should trot with more power.
Shown: 17 foals out of 53 breedings.
Offspring 1997: Zichem remains approved for KWPN breeding on the basis of his 3-year old offspring.
