Genetic profile

The breeding values have been estimated using information from sport, inspections and talent tests and in addition the available DNA profiles (genotypes).
The DNA profile of the horse itself is included here.
The breeding values are presented in relation to the dressage breeding direction.
An average KWPN dressage horse has a dressage breeding value between 80 and 120.

Performance test report

Conformation:
Gunner is a well-developed stallion with good rectangular-shaped conformation. The head is sufficiently attractive, with a slightly heavy jaw. The poll has sufficient length with a slightly heavy head-neck connection. The neck has good length, slightly horizontal placement, and more than sufficient muscling. The wither is well developed and has good length. The shoulder has good length and placement. The back has good length and muscling. The loin is well muscled and well connected. The croup has good placement with more than sufficient length and muscling. The line from the point of the hip to the point of the buttock should be longer. The front leg is slightly toed-out when viewed from the front and slightly over at the knee when viewed from the side. The hind leg is correct but slightly long. The pasterns are correct but slightly short. The legs are well-developed and of sufficient quality. The hooves are well developed and of good quality. 

Lineage:
Gunner KS is by Belissimo M (Beltain x Romadour II) out of the ster, PROK, sport (dres) mare Ronnevanck, a Vincent daughter. Bred to Royal Dance, Ronnevanck produced a ZZ-advanced level dressage horse. Gunner KS's granddam Lonnevanck boasts the keur, preferent, prestatie, and sport (dres) predicates. She is a daughter of the influential sire Donnerhall. Lonnevanck is also the dam of the KWPN stallion Polansky (s.Kostolany), who competed in the Small Tour; a Small Tour horse by Munchhausen; and Z2-level horses by Sandro Hit and Munchhausen. The dam-line continues with the ster preferent prestatie mare Fanbonnevanck, an Ulft daughter. Her offspring include Z1 dressage horses by Upper-Class, Freestyle, and Polansky; as well as Small Tour horses by Donnerhall and Donnerschlag. Next in the dam-line is the ster mare Bonnevanck, a Roemer daughter out of the ster preferent mare Sonnevanck (s.Liguster). She is followed by the keur preferent mare M.Wonnevanck, a daughter of the Hanoverian stallion Eclatant. 

Performance Test Report:
Gunner KS is an honest and reliable stallion with a good temperament. He is very willing to work and has good trainability. The walk has good scope. The trot has good scope. The hind leg needs to carry more in the trot. The canter is uphill with good scope but should be more light-footed. Gunner KS moves with more than sufficient to good elasticity, excellent body position, and good balance. He has abundant talent for dressage and gives his rider a good feeling. 

Stable Behavior:
Gunner KS is an honest and reliable stallion. He is easy on the ground and quiet in his stall.  

Veterinary Report:
The stallion arrived with a quarter crack, which did not cause any problems. 

Semen Inspection:
Expected fertility class: good. 

Breeding Recommendation:
Gunner KS can add size, a good front end, and help widen blood distribution in dressage horse breeding. He is best bred to mares with an active hind leg.

Performance test scores

Offspring report

Gunner KS showed a collection of good developed, good modelled dressage foals with a lot of appeal in the forehand. The hind leg is often long and behind the mass. The walk is more than sufficient in space but multiple times toed out. The trot is more than sufficient to good in length in which the hind leg should carry more. The canter is sufficient in length but should have more impulsion and carry more.

Number of registered offspring 2016: 22 fillies, 18 colts
Number of foals scored at home: 17 foals
Number of present foals: 7 foals

Breeding recommendation based on the performance test and shown foals:
Gunner KS can add size and front and contribute to the differentiation in blood in the breeding of dressage horses. Mares should possess an active and powerful carrying hind leg.
