Training report:
Sylvester P. is an honest and reliable stallion. He has a very level-headed character
and was consistent and unflappable during the training. His skill level and willingness
to work developed positively during the testing.
-Walk: The walk has length and is
powerful. It stands out how well he moves through the body in walk.
-Trot: There
is more than sufficient length in the trot and it is sufficiently powerful. The trot
could be more closed but has more than sufficient self carriage.
-Canter: The canter
is good, with rhythm in the strides, and shows more than sufficient balance. The
hind legs could be placed a bit more under the body. The canter is more than sufficiently
uphill.
Suitability as a riding horse: Sylvester P. has more than sufficient to good
aptitude as a riding horse. All three basic gaits of the stallion show sufficient
length and power of the strides. The hind legs could be slightly faster. The stallion
shows good suppleneness and balance, and good transitions.
Suitability as a show-driving/driving
horse: Sylvester has with more than sufficient basic gaits in front of the cart sufficient
to more than sufficient aptitude as a driving horse. As a show-driving horse he could
make more front and rise more in the front. The front legs show more than sufficient
action but could be placed further forward. With that the hind legs have to come
to more self carriage. The suspension is more than sufficient.
