Expression
showed a uniform collection of attractive, long-legged foals with good
development and good dressage horse conformation. The neck is long and well
shaped. The front leg is correct. Among the foals evaluated at their home
location, several were observed to have a dropped mid-section and a
sickle-hocked hind leg. These traits were evident to a lesser extent in the
foals selected by the stallion's registered party. The walk has good scope and
elasticity. The trot and canter have good scope, elasticity, and carriage. The
hind leg steps far enough under the body but should do so with more power.
