Offspring 1999
A uniform collection of royally developed foals. They are in good rectangular model and are of good riding type. The build is harmonious with strong connections. The head is generally expressive. The poll has sufficient length and most often has good form. The neck has good length. When stood up there is somewhat of a ewe-neck. This is not visible in movement. The neck is used well. The long wither is more than sufficiently developed. The shoulder should sometimes be longer. The placement of the shoulder is generally good. The back/loins are good in length and shape, with wide, strongly muscled loins. The croup has more than sufficient length and in general is sloping. The croup is well muscled and the hamstring is long. The walk has scope and regularity. The foals trot well from the ground with a lot of scope and good suppleness. The balance and use of the foreleg are also good. The hindleg is used sufficiently. The picture varies in the canter. In general there is more than sufficient scope and good use of the hindleg. Some foals have difficulty jumping into the canter and should carry themselves more. One foal inspected at home fit in with the rest of the picture.
The mares were of good quality.
Shown: 14 (+1) foals out of 50 breedings.
