Conformation description 2005 (14-03 t/m 24-05)
Well developed, long lined stallion that stands in good Gelders type. The front is very appealing. The loins are tight. The hindleg is long, poorly muscled and a bit straight. The stance of the foreleg is correct. The base is more than sufficiently developed.

Pedigree information
The old fashioned Gelders bred Vitens comes from Parcival"s second foal crop. Parcival is currently extremely successful in dressage, competing at ZZ-level.
The keur mare Nadien jumps at M level and is a full sister of PAVO Cup winner Mariena who has made her debut at light tour level. Grandmother Variante carries the keur, preferent and prestatie predicates. This daughter of Natuur (s Gloriant) also produced the M level jumper - and Z2-level dressage horse - Guido (s Satelliet) and the ZZ+16 singles competition Fabian (s Satelliet), the Light Tour-dressage horse Mariena (s Zep) and the M-jumper Nadien (s Zep). Further back in the dam line we come to the stallion Folio (s Wachtmeester) by way of the mare Riante.
