Performance test scores

Offspring report

Danser showed a uniform collection of more than sufficiently developed foals with sufficient rectangular-shaped conformation, good Gelder type, and presence. The foals move with excellent carriage and use their legs correctly, although in some foals, the hind leg should step under the body a bit farther and carry more.
