Offspring 1998
The stallion showed a uniform collection of more than sufficient to well developed foals. They are in good rectangular model and show breeding. The head is expressive. The foals have a lot of poll. The length and muscling of the neck, which is a little horizontal, are good. The wither should be better developed. The shoulder has good length and more than sufficient placement. The back and loins have good shape and muscling. The length of the croup is more than sufficient but the shape is a little round and the tail set is a little high. The hamstring is remarkably well developed. In general the foreleg is correct: sometimes a little hollow, sometimes a little over at the knee. The hindleg is generally correct but sometimes a little sickle-hocked. The joints - and the base in general - should be better developed.
The walk is a bit limited in scope. The foals trot with suppleness, scope and with good self-carriage. The foreleg is used well; the hindleg should be brought under the body a bit further. The canter has scope, suppleness and good use of the foreleg, but the foals should push off better. A foal that was inspected at home fit with the rest of the picture.
The mares were of good quality.
Shown: 21 (+1) foals out of 87 breedings.
