Offspring report
Offspring 1997
A uniform collection of more than sufficiently developed, riding type foals that are in good rectangular model was shown. The foals showed little scope and power in movement. The head is well formed. The poll is good of length and the neck also has the desired length, rounding and muscling of the topline. The wither is well developed. The shoulder is good of length. Placement and muscling of the shoulder are more than sufficient. The back is a little deep, but the loins are well connected. The croup slopes and has sufficient length. Both the buttock and the gaskin should be better muscled. The foreleg is correct. The stance of the hindleg varies from correct to being a little sickle-hocked. The hindleg is long and is behind the body.
The walk is big and supple. The trot is very limited, it lacks scope, power and balance. The canter is easier for the foals. They have more push from behind and suppleness, but the scope in the canter is a bit limited and the foals stay flat in the foreleg. One foal that was inspected at home fit in with the rest of the picture in regards to conformation. Because of illness movement could not be evaluated. The quality of the mares was sufficient to good.
Shown 12 (+1) foals out of 34 breedings.
