Performance test report

Conformation:
Nashville SW is a well-developed stallion with good proportions in his body. The forehand is well developed, the neck has a beautiful upward curvature in the topline and emerges slightly deep from the chest. The shoulder is of good length and position. The back and loins are sufficiently muscled. The croup is of good length, position, and musculature. The foreleg is slightly concave when viewed from the side, but correct from the front. The hind leg is slightly curved. The pasterns are correctly positioned. The hooves are broad and well-developed, with slightly underrun heels. The foundation is sufficiently developed and of hard quality.

Pedigree:
Two-time PAVO Cup winner Nashville SW descends from the Sezuan son Secret. Like his sire Secret, Nashville SW participated in the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses. Nashville SW's dam is the predicate-rich Esina (elite, preferent, IBOP-dr, Sport-dr, PROK), who in turn descends from the preferent stallion Jazz. As a three-year-old, Esina qualified for the NMK final and later fulfilled these expectations in sport. She competed at Grand Prix level under rider and breeder Martien Willig. In combination with Secret, Esina also produced the ZZ-Licht horse No Secret SW and a Z1 offspring by Bordeaux. Granddam Wysina (ster, preferent, performance, Sport-dr, PROK, D-OC) is by the keur stallion Farrington and competed at Z2 level in dressage. She produced the International Intermediaire I horse Florence in combination with Apache.

Performance test report:
Nashville SW is a sympathetic and balanced stallion with a remarkably positive attitude and workability. His walk is always pure in four-beat rhythm, active, through the body, and with sufficient reach. The trot is pure in two-beat rhythm and has good cadence. The hind leg responds well to the rider's aids and carries well under the body. The foreleg moves with shoulder freedom and knee action. The canter is well-balanced, with the hind leg stepping under the body; when collected, he clearly takes more weight behind. The canter shows good jump and adjustability but could be slightly lighter-footed. Nashville SW is highly trainable in both trot and canter, allowing for increased adjustability and expression. The contact is pleasant, always elastic and steady. He easily collects and relaxes and shows potential for collection. Nashville SW has excellent willingness and demonstrated a very consistent and balanced performance.

Stable behavior:
An honest, reliable stallion, easy to handle, and calm in the stable.

Veterinary report:
No abnormalities detected.

Semen examination:
