Offspring 2004 (foals)
Berlin showed more than sufficient to richly developed foals that stand in good rectangular model. The foals are sufficient to more than sufficient riding type.
Berlin"s foals have a somewhat long, sufficiently expressive head. The poll has good length. The neck is more than sufficient in length and comes from deep in the chest. The wither is well developed. The shoulder has sufficient position and length. The back is generally hollow. The loins are well muscled and well connected. The croup has good shape but is often short with a high tail set. The hamstring should sometimes be longer. The foreleg is long but regularly with a straight pastern. The stance of the hindleg varies, frequently long and sickle hocked. The pastern of the hindleg is sometimes straight. The base is generously developed but varied in quality.
The walk is pure, big with little bend in the joint. The foals move with sufficient scope and suppleness in the trot. The hindleg should come underneath further. Berlin"s foals have scope, balance and suppleness in the canter.
In short: A uniform, more than sufficiently developed collection of foals that stand in good rectangular model. The back is generally hollow. The foals have more than sufficient scope in the trot. The hindleg must be brought under the body more resolutely in the walk and trot. The foals canter easily and are generally very supple.
Of the foals shown, 17 were picked and on was selected by the owner. Three foals were inspected at home. Two of those fit in with the above picture and a third foal differed negatively from the others. The foal that was selected by the owner fit in with the rest of the picture.
The qualities of the mares varied.
Shown: 18 (+3) foals out of 134 mares bred in 2003.
Terminology used in scoring:
Moderate = five, sufficient = six, more than sufficient = seven, good = 8.
Keur predicate (2014)
This Cassini I son out of a Carentino daughter was born in 1994 on the property of Josef Unkelbach in Cologne, Germany. In 2003, Berlin received KWPN approval based on his achievements in the sport and results of a five-day test for stable behavior. Under Gerco Schröder, the stallion performed at the Grand Prix level for numerous years. Highpoints in Berlin's career include capturing the 2006 Dutch Championship in Mierlo and helping the Dutch team win the gold medal at the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen and the 2007 European Championships in Mannheim. Since then, a number of offspring from his first years at stud have become top competitors in their age groups. Furthermore, Berlin offspring are achieving their first successes in the Grand Prix: consider Zerlin's recent victory in Mechelen under Jos Lansink. Berlin's approved son Zurich, another stallion from his first year at stud, was the champion of the KWPN stallion selection. In addition, Berlin is a producer of exceptional mares. Of the mares bred to him, 64% have earned the ster predicate and more than 50% of these also qualified for the keur- and elite predicates. These percentages are remarkably high. Berlin's breeding value is 149 with 91% reliability. His ability to pass on good conformation and jumping talent is well above average, with scores of 108 and 112 respectively.
The Stallion Selection Committee decided to award Berlin the Keur predicate (2014).
