Offspring 1997 (foals)
The collection of foals varied. The development varied from barely sufficient to more than sufficient. The type varied from little to sufficient riding type. The foals are in rectangular model. The picture also varied in movement.
The head is often a little long. The foals have sufficient length in the poll. The neck is a little straight and poorly muscled in the topline. The neck is a little deep from the chest. The wither is sufficiently developed. The length and placement of the shoulder are sufficient. The back should be better muscled. The loins are sufficiently connected. The croup should slope more and is short. The hamstring should be longer. The foreleg is generally back at the knee and tied in. There are several cases of foals that are toed out and hooves that should be more developed. The hindleg is generally correct.
The walk has limited scope and little suppleness. The trot varies. A number of foals show scope and impulsion, others are limited in regards to scope and power. The canter also varies. Most foals canter easily but some should have more impulsion and scope. One of the picked foals still has to be evaluated at home.
The mares were of moderate quality.
