Genetic profile

The breeding values have been estimated using information from sport, inspections and aptitude tests as well as the available DNA profiles (genotypes).
The DNA profile of the horse itself is not included here.
The breeding values are presented in relation to the dressage breeding direction.
An average KWPN show jumper has a show jumping breeding value between 80 and 120.

Offspring report

With respect to body length, a varied collection of foals with sufficient jumper conformation and a downhill body direction. The trot has more than sufficient stride length with flat front leg use. The canter has sufficient stride length. The foals should use their bodies more and bend their joints more as they move.

Breeding Recommendation
The breeding recommendation is based on the performance test and the offspring inspection. Arthos R can improve both jumping traits and rideability in jumper breeding. He is best paired with mares that have supple movement.
