Franklin showed a uniform collection of sufficiently developed foals with good dressage horse conformation and abundant presence. The head is attractive. The wither generally has good length. The back has more than sufficient length. The croup has good shape, length, and muscling. The front leg is correct but somewhat fine-boned when viewed from the side, and toed-out with small hooves when viewed from the front. The hind leg is slightly sickle-hocked. The walk has sufficient scope and elasticity. The trot is light-footed and has abundant shoulder freedom, good to very good scope, and good use of the hind leg. The canter has good scope, push, and elasticity with excellent balance. The foals have a remarkable ability to collect.
