Performance test report

Performance 1981
He was in good condition upon arrival and remained that way throughout the test. Good humored, friendly stallion. He is impertinent, obedient and especially attentive. He is honest and happy and sometimes headstrong. He is very supple and has much power. Even though he is headstrong he is fun to ride. He remains nicely collected in all three gaits. He did not want to work very hard in the beginning of the test and had a difficult mouth at that time. The walk is strong, big, elastic and regular. The trot has good suspension. The canter is brilliant with a lot of balance and regularity. He jumps well; he has a lot of technique and good scope. He should put more effort into jumping. Sometimes he tenses during the jumping, which in turn makes for a tense jump. In the cross-country he collects himself, the gallop stays too round. He works more on the basis of his power than on suppleness. He is good in front of the sled. He really enjoys the work. His ears are playful, he really likes to go. He is very willing to work and it is easy for him. He has very much talent for dressage, much talent for jumping and more than sufficient talent for cross-country. He is rather busy in his stall. Sometimes he puts his front feet in his feed trough.

Offspring report

Offspring 1983 (foals)

This stallion showed a collection of very well developed foals with strong rumps. The foals appear to be good riding type, the selected foals more so. In general they are the picture of breeding horses. The foals out of mares with thoroughbred blood are a little more refined. The head is well formed, hard and lean, sometimes a little long. The neck has a good topline and also has good shape and shows a nice, long poll. The wither has sufficient length but is not totally developed. The shoulder length and placement are good with a good connection to the rump. The back is sometimes a bit long but otherwise shows good connections; the loins are also well connected. The croup is long, wide and muscled with a long hamstring. The picked foals could have a wider croup. The build and stance of the foreleg are good with a developed knee. The hindleg is often a little long and cow hocked. The hock could be finished more tightly. The quality of the legs could be a little more appealing in general, meaning they could be a little leaner. The walk is more than good, easy and scopey with a hindquarter than comes underneath well. The trot is very good with a hindquarter that comes underneath well and a lot of balance.

Shown: 23 foals out of 104 breedings.



Approval term 1990

First approved for a term of three years on the basis of:

a. the approval of 6 stallions, of which 4 still service the breeding program;

b. the fact, as determined by the keuring reports, that the stallion has a positive influence on conformation of his offspring: 174 studbook mares of which 77 became ster and 13 keur

c. the fact, as determined by linear scoring, that the stallion has a positive influence on the trot of his offspring

d. the fact, as determined by the index, that the offspring can perform well in dressage, witness the 121 points with an already reasonably good reliability.



Keur 1995

With high reliability (both 91%) this stallion scored 110 pints for jumping and 122 points for dressage. That fact, combined with the observation that he has produced six approved sons as well as a high percentage of star and keur mares, was the deciding factor for the keur predicate. An important contribution was the fact that the stallion has at least four offspring at Grand Prix level and three right under that level. Moreover he has two international jumpers under his auspices. He scores high as a conformation sire in regards to scope and suppleness.
