Offspring 2001
Idocus showed a uniform collection of appealing, riding type offspring that are in more than sufficient rectangular model.
The head is well shaped and very expressive. The poll is well shaped and has good length. The neck is shaped well and has more than sufficient length and muscling. The wither is more than sufficient to well developed and sufficiently long. The shoulder generally has good length and positioning. The connection from the back to the loins is good. The croup has sufficient length and good placement. The hamstring is sufficiently long. The stance of the foreleg is correct but should often be a little longer. The stance of the hindleg is correct. The legs should sometimes be a little more strongly developed.
The walk has sufficient scope and suppleness and in a few cases should be a little more pure. The trot is generally sufficient in scope, supple and the Idocus foals carry themselves well. The good use of the body is very noticeable. Once in a while the foreleg should move out more. The use of the hindleg is generally good. The development of the offspring in the age of foal to four-year old varies a little but is generally sufficient.
Idocus serviced all sorts of mares: American Thoroughbreds, KWPN mares and old-fashioned Hannoverian mares. The uniformity, especially of the forehand and the manner of movement, is very remarkable. Idocus clearly puts his stamp on his offspring.
