The croup should be longer. The hamstring has more than sufficient length. Sometimes the foreleg is tied in below the knee. The hindleg is long and sickle hocked with a moderately shaped hock. The base is sufficiently developed but should have more quality.
The walk is pure, more than sufficient in scope and suppleness. The trot is big, has more than sufficient self carriage and sufficient suppleness but the foals should carry more and should come underneath more behind. The canter lacks impulsion, scope and suppleness. The foals are uniform in their movement.
