Offspring 2001 (foals)
Onze Fons-Z showed a uniform collection of moderate to sufficiently developed foals that are of moderate to sufficient riding type. On the whole they are short-coupled. The foals are generally wide and heavily muscled. Sometimes the foals are short-legged. In a number of cases the foals are in sufficient rectangular model and there is more refinement. The head is sufficiently expressive. The poll has sufficient length and shape. The length of the neck varies from short to sufficient. The neck is often wide. The wither has more than sufficient length but is flat and wide. The shoulder has sufficient length but should have more slope. The back is a little hollow but wide and well muscled. The loins are well connected, wide and well muscled. The croup is wide, well muscled and more than sufficient in placement but it is often short. The hamstring is usually short. The foreleg is correct. The hindleg varies from straight to sickle-hocked. The hindleg is behind the body. The base varies in circumference and quality. The walk is pure and has moderate scope. The trot has barely sufficient scope. The foals show good use of the foreleg but hold the neck too high in movement and they push with the hindleg. The foals do not jump into the canter easily. The canter appears to have moderate balance.
Veterinary remarks: One foal was irregular.
The quality of the mares was good.
Shown: 25 foals out of 104 breedings in 2000.
