Performance test report

An extremely riding type stallion that is sufficiently developed.



Performance Ermelo 1991

Friendly, honest, playful, impertinent and obedient. He was still green at the start of the test. He has much elasticity but should bend more in the joints of the hindquarter. He has a rather difficult mouth. The walk has scope and power. The trot is regular and sufficient in scope. He still has trouble with balance at the canter. In jumping he has good technique of the forelegs. He uses the back well, has a good take-off but jumps with a rather long hindleg. He performed sufficiently in cross-country. He felt normal during the dressage work and felt very good while jumping. He found the work normal and was sufficiently willing to work. He has moderate to sufficient talent for dressage and very much talent for jumping. He was in good condition upon arrival and remained that way. His stall behavior was good.

On 3/11 he had a small abscess on the right flank. It was opened, drained and rinsed. Because of this he had a few days off.

1997
Approval maintained. Goodwill remains approved for breeding on the basis of his 3-year old offspring evaluation.

Watchlist 2001
Goodwill was put on the watchlist on the basis of his 7-year old offspring evaluation. Goodwill scored high on the jumping components during the performance test. A total of 558 foals (out of 803 breedings) were registered. Goodwill scores insufficiently on his conformation index. Often he passes on a heavy neck, a flat wither and a sickle-hocked hindleg. Moreover he tends to reduce size. Goodwill"s jumping index is 88 (78%). Apparently Goodwill was not able to pass on his performance genes.
