The back is slightly hollow and well muscled. The hamstring is more than sufficient in length. The stance of the foreleg is correct. The hindleg is long, a little straight and behind the body. The base has more than sufficient quality.
The walk is sufficiently pure, should have more freedom in the shoulder and also more suppleness. The trot has sufficient scope with sufficient suppleness and good use of the foreleg. The hindleg should come under the body further. The canter has sufficient scope, is moderately carried with a flat foreleg.
There were 8 picked foals and 5 that were selected by the owner. One of the picked foals died prior to the evaluation.
