Offspring report

Offspring (foals), September 2003:
Michael showed a varied collection of moderately developed foals with sufficient riding conformation and just sufficient rectangular-shaped conformation. The head is sufficiently attractive with good shape. The poll should be longer. The neck comes out deep from the chest but has sufficient shape with horizontal placement. The wither is more than sufficiently developed and has good length. The shoulder has sufficient length but is straight. The back has good shape and muscling. The loin has good shape and is well connected. The croup has sufficient length and good shape. The line from the point of the hip to the point of the buttock should be longer. The front leg is generally correct but fine-boned, and some foals toe out. Hind leg conformation varies, from straight to sickle-hocked. The legs are of good quality. The walk is pure but needs more scope and elasticity. The trot lacks scope and push, and the foals move on the forehand. The canter is flat, lacking scope and elasticity. Offspring shown: 10 randomly selected foals and 2 foals selected by the stallion's registered party. One foal, which was ill, was evaluated in its stall but not evaluated in motion. The foals selected by the stallion's registered party are consistent with the findings described in this report. The quality of the dams was moderate. Foals shown: 12 of 21 out of mares bred in 2002.
Offspring in January 2007 (3-year-olds):
The evaluation of Michael's 3-year-old offspring has been postponed for one year due to an insufficient number of offspring at the inspections (fewer than 10).
Offspring in January 2008 (3- & 4-year-olds):
Based on the postponed evaluation/report on Michael's 3- & 4-year-old offspring, he has been granted another one-year postponement due to an insufficient number of offspring at the inspections (fewer than 10).
