Offspring 1997
The foals are more than sufficiently developed. They are in good rectangular model and are in more than sufficient riding type. Scope and push are sufficient in movement but the foals should show more suppleness. The head is sufficiently expressive. The foals have sufficient poll. The neck has good length but is a little deep and the muscling of the topline should be better. The foals carry the neck well. The wither is reasonably well developed. The shoulder is often straight and a little short. The back/loin formation is a little long and weak. The croup slopes, but the hindquarter should be longer. The gaskin is sufficiently muscled. The foreleg is mostly correct. Some foals have a tight foreleg and some were a little short-legged. The knee is strongly developed and the underarm is well muscled. The hindleg is long. The base is well developed.
The big walk should show more suppleness. The foals trot with sufficient scope and sufficient push from behind but they should have more suppleness and rise and should come to carry more. The foals jump into the canter easily. They should also have more suppleness in the canter.
The quality of the mares was more than sufficient to good.
Shown: 25 foals out of 176 breedings.
