Offspring 1993 (foals)
This Trakehner stallion showed well developed foals of the riding type and that show refinement. The head is well formed and expressive. The neck is extra long, has much poll and in general is carried high during movement. The neck should have a smoother connection to the shoulder/wither. The wither is sufficiently developed and extends a long way into the back. The shoulder has sufficient length and placement. The back and loin formation don"t give cause for any remarks. The croup has sufficient length but several foals should have a longer hamstring. The foreleg is correct. On the whole the joints are sufficiently developed; the cannon is almost always long. The walk is good. The trot has scope, ease, shows tact and rises in the front but the hindleg is often slow in coming underneath and should also develop more carrying power. The movement of the trot should also flow through the body more. In general the stallion had good to very good mares.
The veterinary remarks pertained to three instances in which the stance of the foot deviated.
In short: well developed, riding type foals with refinement that had a big, easy and tactful trot which rose in the front, but where the hindleg was often slow in coming underneath.
Shown: 16 foals out of 66 breedings.
