Offspring report

Offspring 1993 (foals)
The collection of foals that were shown varied in regards to development from sufficient to good. Even though a little shallow they are of the riding type and have refinement. The head is a little long but it is well formed and often expressive. The necks are varied: sometimes a little short, sometimes with a ewe-neck but often with good shape. The poor muscling is pretty much common to all the foals. The neck is used well during movement. The wither is well developed and has good length. The shoulder always has the desired length but should, in a few cases, have more slope. The back is well muscled, the loins are well connected. The croup varies: sometimes sloping and long, sometimes a little short, sometimes a little flat. The foreleg is correct but often a little tied in. The hindleg is rather long with a pretty strong angle. The legs have good quality.
The walk is sufficient to good. The trot has a lot of impulsion and is characterized by strong use of the hindleg and a lot of suppleness.
The selected foals had more depth to their rumps and the walk had more scope. The mares varied a lot but on the whole were of average quality.
The veterinary remarks pertain to the incorrect stance of the forelegs of some of the foals.
In short: sufficient to well developed foals with refinement that are a little shallow in the back. The trot is characterized by powerful use of the hindleg and a lot of suppleness.
Shown: 30 foals out of 200 breedings.

Performance test report

1991
selected for the Performance Test at the re-keuring in Zwolle
Performance 1991
Honest, obedient, happy, friendly and playfully impertinent. He was saddle broke at the start of the test. He rolled himself too much during the first few weeks, this improved later. He often plays with his tongue. The walk is easy with sufficient scope. The trot has sufficient scope but not much power and he looks messy in front. In the canter he brings his hindquarter underneath well but he should have more scope. He shows a lot of effort in jumping and good technique. He does well in cross-country. He feels average in dressage and good in jumping. He likes to work and it is easy for him. He is more than willing to work. He has moderate to sufficient talent for dressage and rather a lot for jumping. He was in good condition upon arrival and got a little leaner as the test went on. He is calm in his stall but sometimes difficult while he is being cared for.
