Summary

Sir Arie showed a uniform collection of harness-type foals with moderate to sufficient development, abundant nobility and good rectangular-shaped conformation.
The front leg shows sufficient to more than sufficient scope and sufficient to more than sufficient action.
The hind leg shows sufficient bend but should generally step farther and more powerfully under the body.
The foals carry the neck well in the trot and come back in the front, but need to "climb" more in the trot.

Breeding Recommendation
