Frame Mark 6.75
Frame Comment
currently at a difficult stage of development, as he has to grow into himself a little more. the should could have more of a slope to allow more freedom in the gaits, and the back could be a little stronger with more topline across the frame

Canter Mark 7
Canter Comment
showing a nice and positive attitude, he is currently a little lacking in balance, which is making it difficult for him to show his best strides. as he becomes stronger, we would like to see him use his back more for more elevation and suspension, to allow his hocks to come under for more ground cover

Total Mark Overall comment
7.2 SILVER this is a very well presented young horse showing a lovely positive attitude. He is at a bit of a difficult stage in his development, where he needs to grow into himself more and fill his frame. this is currently affecting his movement, as he is lacking the strength to carry himself more to allow his gaits to become more expressive. However, we are sure he will make a lovely, positive and cooperative partner in the sport and we are looking forward to watching him develop.
