Performance test report

Conformation:
High Five U.S. is a well-developed stallion with good rectangular-shaped conformation but needs a bit more bloodhorse presence. The head is long, sufficiently attractive, with a slightly heavy jaw. The poll has sufficient length with a slightly heavy head-neck connection. The neck has good length, shape and muscling but comes out deep from the chest. The wither is more than sufficiently developed and has good length. The shoulder has good length and more than sufficient placement. The back has good length and muscling. The loins are somewhat tight but well connected. The croup has good length and muscling but is slightly straight. There is sufficient length from the point of the hip to the point of the buttock. The front leg is slightly constricted, and the right front leg is a fraction toed out. The hind leg is long and sickle-hocked. The front pasterns are long and slightly weak. The legs are well developed but should be slightly tighter. The hooves are well developed and of good quality, but slightly small. 

Lineage:
High Five U.S. is a son of the impressive mover Charmeur. This stallion is a product of a strong dam-line, which has produced both outstanding sporthorses and inspection horses. High Five U.S.'s dam is Vurona. This elite, preferent, sport (dres) mare by Negro is classified at the Z2 level. Verona's other offspring include a Z2-level horse by Furst Heinrich and the Danish-approved stallion First Choice (s.Jazz). High Five U.S.'s granddam Murona produced several good sporthorses and boasts the elite, preferent, and prestatie predicates. She is by the Grand Prix stallion Vincent out of the elite mare Furona, who is classified at Z-level dressage. This mare is by Zaire out of the keur preferent prestatie mare Urona, a Maykel daughter. The dam-line continues with a daughter of the gray Hanoverian stallion Exact.

Performance Test Report:
High Five U.S. is an honest and reliable stallion with a good temperament. He is very willing to work and has good trainability. The walk is pure and has good scope and elasticity. The trot is well balanced, easy and big, but the hind leg needs to step more resolutely under the body. The canter is powerful, big, and carried. High Five U.S. moves with good elasticity and body position as well as excellent balance. He has abundant talent for dressage and gives his rider a good feeling.

Stable Behavior:
High Five U.S. is an honest and reliable stallion. He is easy on the ground and quiet in his stall. 

Veterinary Report:
Sensitivity in the lower leg was resolved with targeted movement.

Semen Inspection:
Expected fertility class: good.

Breeding Recommendation:
High Five U.S. can improve size and body position in dressage horse breeding. He is best bred to mares with sufficient "blood."

Performance test scores

Offspring report

High Five U.S. showed a uniform collection of well-developed foals that fit well into the rectangular model. The foals have more than sufficient charisma. The neck is vertically positioned several times and often comes from deep in the chest. The hind leg stance is varying, generally correct, but also an upright and sickle stance has been established. The walk is correct and good in length. With the at home scored foals the trot and canter was good in length with a lot of elasticity in which the hind leg carries well. With the by the owner selected foals the neck stays a bit vertical in as well the trot as canter, which is at the expense of the use of back and the stepping under the body of the hind leg. 

Number of registered offspring 2016: 24 fillies, 28 colts
Number of foals scored at home 2016: 23 foals
Number of present foals: 9 foals

Breeding recommendation based on the performance test and shown foals:
High Five U.S. can add height, size and length in movement to the breeding of dressage horses. Mare should have enough blood.
