Offspring report

Offspring (foals) in 2006:
Johnson showed a uniform collection of well-developed riding-type foals with good rectangular-shaped conformation and remarkable movement. The head is sufficiently attractive but sometimes long. In several foals, the poll should be longer. The neck has sufficient length and good shape but, in several foals, extends deep from the chest. The wither has sufficient length and development. The shoulder has good length and placement. The back has good length and muscling. The loin is well connected. The croup has good placement, length, and muscling. The front leg has more than sufficient length but is toed-out in several foals. The hind leg is long and sickle-hocked. The legs are more than sufficiently developed, but the hock should be cleaner in several instances. The walk has good scope and elasticity. The trot has good scope and elasticity. The foals pick up the canter easily, show excellent balance, and collect well. The foals use their legs well and show good self-carriage.
Short summary:
A uniform collection of well-developed riding-type foals with good rectangular-shaped conformation and which are appreciated in motion. The foals use their legs well and show abundant elasticity as well as good self-carriage. The collection consisted of 20 foals selected by the KWPN and 4 foals selected by the stallion's registered party. One of the KWPN-selected foals was absent. This foal was inspected at its home location and is consistent with the findings described in this report. One foal, which was injured, was evaluated standing only. With respect to movement, the foals selected by the stallion's registered party are better than the findings described in this report. The foals were presented on sand footing. The quality of the dams was average. Foals shown: 23 (+1) of 253 out of mares bred in 2005. The scoring protocol used is as follows: moderate: 5; sufficient: 6; more than sufficient: 7; good: 8. Breeding recommendation, 2006: Johnson can contribute long-lined, uphill conformation, and desired front leg use to dressage horse breeding. He is best bred to mares with good hind leg movement.
