Performance test report

Conformation
Very royally developed stallion with good Gelder horse conformation. The head is attractive. The poll has sufficient length. The neck has sufficient length and good form and muscling. The withers are sufficiently developed. The shoulder has good length, but is a little steep. The back has sufficient length, good muscling and well-connected loins.

Lineage

The Gelder keur stallion Koss is famous for being the father of many Gelder stallion show top performers and approved stallions. Wilson’s dam, the keur, preferent Metha was champion of the National Gelder Horse Day as a three-year-old. The mare was reserve champion at the UTV. Metha also produced Wilson’s full brother, Vasco, appointed for the stallion test as a three-year-old, and the keur mare Amora.

Inspection Report
Wilson is an honest and reliable stallion with sufficient willingness to work, and is well- trainable.

Dressage

The walk is sound, with more than sufficient scope. The trot has good scope and more than sufficient power, with good front leg action and carriage. The canter is active, with good carriage, sufficient scope and a good balance. The stallion has markedly improved in elasticity during the test. As a Gelder horse, Wilson has a lot of talent for dressage and gives his rider a good feeling.

Jumping
Wilson jumps with a lot of impulsion and more than sufficient to good technique. The stallion is sometimes very tense in the hind quarters. Wilson appears cautious and shows a lot of power. As a Gelder horse, Wilson has a lot of talent for jumping and gives his rider a good feeling.

Harness

The trot has good scope and power. The canter has more than sufficient scope and power. The stallion turns more than sufficiently to good, with good carriage. The overall picture as a harness horse is more than sufficient to good.

Stable Behavior

Wilson is an honest and reliable stallion. He is easy on the ground and quiet in his stall.   

Veterinary Report
Wilson does not meet the radiological standards concerning the right hock, which is classed a C for osteochondrosis. The stallion approval committee has used the regulatory exception to accept a stallion with a class C for osteochondrosis. 

Semen Inspection
Expected fertility class: sufficient.

Breeding Recommendation
Wilson can improve Gelder horse breeding with model, movements, jumping quality and carriage, and should preferably be used with mares that do not have a tight top line, move with elasticity and have well-developed feet.

Dam report
Metha is a well-developed, long-lined mare with good Gelder horse conformation. The head is attractive. The poll is sufficiently long. The neck is well-muscled, more than sufficient in length and well placed. The withers are well-developed. The shoulder is a little steep. The back is good in length. The loins are well-connected and muscled. The croup is well placed. The tail set is high. The front and hind legs are correct. The pasterns are weak. The hooves are well-developed with good heels. The legs are sufficient in quality and conformation. The walk is active, sound and with good scope. The trot and canter were not evaluated because of very advanced pregnancy (see IBOP scores below). The mare was heavy with foal during the evaluation.

Height: 1.70 m / 16.7+ hands; color: chestnut

Metha achieved the following IBOP results in 1998:

Walk: 8 Trot: 8 Canter: 8 Suitabilty as dressage horse: 8 (x2) Impulsion jumping: 5 Technique jumping: 5 Jumping power: 5
Talent as jumping horse: 5 (x2) Total: 65,0 points.
