Offspring report

Offspring (foals) in 2007: a uniform collection of well-developed riding- type foals with good rectangular-shaped conformation. The head is attractive but sometimes long. The poll has sufficient length; the head-neck connection is sometimes heavy. The neck has good shape and muscling with sufficient length. The wither shows sufficient length and development. The shoulder is long with more than sufficient placement. The back has sufficient length and good muscling. The loin is well muscled. The croup has sufficient length with good position and muscling. The line from the point of the hip to the point of the buttock should be longer. The front leg has good length and is correct, but constricted in several foals. The hind leg is mostly correct but long in several foals. The legs are well developed and of good quality. The walk has more than sufficient scope and elasticity. The trot is powerful and has good scope. The hind leg bends actively but should step under the body more. The canter is powerful and has sufficient scope. The foals should use their body more in the canter.
Short summary: a uniform collection of well-developed riding-type foals with good rectangular-shaped conformation. The foals show powerful movement with more than sufficient scope but should use their body more in the canter. The collection was comprised of 20 foals selected by the KWPN (2 of which were absent) and 5 foals selected by the stallion's registered party. The absent foals, which were inspected at their home location, are consistent with this report. The foals selected by the stallion's registered party are also consistent with this report. The foals were presented on sand footing. The quality of the dams was average. Presented: 23 (+2) foals out of 115 mares bred in 2006. The scoring protocol used is as follows: moderate: 5; sufficient: 6; more than sufficient: 7; good: 8.
Breeding recommendation, 2007: Carthino-Z can add size, good conformation, jumping talent, and in particular, scope when bred to mares with good rectangular-shaped conformation. This breeding recommendation is based on the performance test and the foal inspection.
