Grodino showed a uniform collection of sufficiently developed foals with more than sufficient rectangular-shaped conformation and a downhill body direction. The neck has good length, vertical placement, and often an under-neck. The back has good length but is generally dropped. The croup is sloped and short, in which the line from the point of the hip to the point of the buttock should be longer. The front leg is slightly toed-out. The hind leg is correct but sometimes slightly long and behind the mass. The legs are solid and have appropriate circumference. The walk has good scope and elasticity. The trot has more than sufficient scope and elasticity. The canter is light-footed with more than sufficient scope and balance.
Number of registered offspring in 2015: 11 fillies and 4 colts
Number of foals scored at their home location in 2015: 10 foals
Number of foals present: 6 foals
Breeding recommendation based on the performance test and foals shown:
Grodino can improve the canter, particularly light-footedness in the gait, as well as add scope to jumper breeding.

Conformation:
Grodino is a well-developed stallion with good rectangular-shaped conformation. The head is sufficiently attractive. The poll has good length. The neck has good length and shape with sufficient muscling. The wither has good length and more than sufficient development. The shoulder has good length and placement. The back has good length and muscling. The loin is more than sufficiently muscled and connected. The croup has more than sufficient length, with good placement and muscling. There is more than sufficient length from the point of the hip to the point of the buttock. The front leg is correct. The hind leg is correct but slightly long. The pasterns have good length and are correct. The legs are sufficiently developed and of good quality. The hooves are of good shape and quality.
Lineage:
Grodino is Eldorado van de Zeshoek's first approved son. Grodino's dam is the PROK mare Sorina, a Celano daughter out of Morina by Concorde. Grodino's great-granddam Hidorina is a prestatie mare by the English Thoroughbred Mytens xx. Bred to Larino and Concorde, Hidorina produced two 1.35m jumpers. The dam-line continues with the ster prestatie mare Korina. This daughter of the Amor son Gondelier produced offspring including Dorina (s.Transvaal), who achieved success at the highest level under Franke Sloothaak; and the Kristal son Othello, who jumped over 2 meters several times in Puissances.
Performance Test Report:
Grodino is a slightly "looky" stallion with a more than sufficient temperament. He is more than sufficiently willing to work, has good trainability, and a good mouth. The walk has little rhythm but sufficient scope. The trot has sufficient to more than sufficient scope. The canter is powerful with good scope and carriage. The stallion moves with good body position and more than sufficient balance. He jumps with good to very good reflexes. The stallion also jumps with good to very good leg form and completes his jump very well with his hind end; however, he needs to show more bascule. He appears careful and shows very abundant scope. Grodino demonstrates abundant talent as a jumper and gives his rider a good feeling.
Stable Behavior:
Grodino is an honest and reliable stallion. He is easy on the ground and quiet in his stall.
Veterinary Report:
The training manager requested a dental examination for the stallion, which was performed on March 23rd and April 19th and resulted in a dental adjustment. Several milk teeth were removed.
Upon arrival, the stallion carried his croup slightly lower on the left than on the right, a phenomenon which increased during the performance test. No pain could be detected, so the stallion was trained as usual.
Semen Inspection:
Expected fertility class: good
Breeding Recommendation:
Grodino can add size and scope to jumper breeding.
