Stuurboord showed a uniform collection of sufficiently developed, tuig type foals. The foals stand in sufficient rectangular model.
The head is expressive but there are a few foals with a bit of a roman nose. The poll is sufficient in shape and length. The neck has good length and position. In several cases it comes from deep in the chest. Frequently the transition from the wither to the neck could be smoother. The wither has sufficient length and is well developed. The shoulder has good length and position. Sometimes the back is hollow. The loins are well muscled but sometimes they are a little tight. The croup has sufficient position but is generally short. The hamstring is sufficient in length. The stance of the foreleg is correct but should generally be longer. The stance of the pastern is normal. The stance of the hindleg is normal. The base is sufficiently developed and shows quality. The shape of the hooves is normal.
The walk has sufficient scope and power. The trot has sufficient scope and suspension. The action of the foreleg is often flat. The hindleg is brought underneath well with sufficient power. The foals show front and elevation during movement.
