Performance test report

Elegant riding type stallion with refinement and appeal.

Bloodlines
The bloodlines show a good variety, which Kennedy truly exhibits. The emphasis seems to be more on the possibilities as a dressage horse. Even though the mother was never a sport horse one can deduce from her evaluation regarding model and movement in-hand that she would be good at dressage. The same pattern goes for the father"s side. A half brother of Kennedy was 2nd of the 4-year old dressage horses in Limburg and received an invitation to the finals. A half sister completed an excellent station test.

The poll has good length. The necks also have good length and are muscled through the topline. The withers vary, from moderate to sufficient development. The shoulder has sufficient length and is well muscled but should sometimes have more slope. The back is a little short and should be muscled more strongly. The loins also lack good muscling. The croup is sloped, has sufficient length and good muscling. The hamstring could be a little longer. The foreleg is well positioned, but delicate. The hind leg is a little long, is behind the body and sometimes is a little straight. The legs are hard and lean but should have a little more substance. The foals show sufficient scope and suppleness in the walk. The foals are a little on the forehand in the trot, they have sufficient freedom of the shoulder but the use of the foreleg stays a little flat. The hindleg should be brought underneath with more power and it should carry more The quality of the mares was good.
