Dominated the class in terms of over all balance, muscle expression, and structure. He displayed a more desirable, sloping shoulder. Had a strong top line in relation to a longer underline. Displayed more expression of muscle throughout his hip, stifle and inner and outer gaskins. Stood on a shorter set of cannons, and had longer,more sloping pasterns.

He dominated the class in overall balance, muscling, and structure. He was shorter and stronger in his top line, and had a nicer turn to his croup. He possessed a cleaner throatlatch coupled with a longer, smoother neck. He was more powerfully muscled in his shoulder, loin, hip and through the plane of his stifle. Finally, he was more symmetrical, with his cannons more perpendicular to the ground.

This horse has a high quality head and tight throat latch. I'd like to see him more distinct in his neck/shoulder junction but he has a very laid back shoulder that gives him prominent withers and a short back. I also like the square hip and muscle carry down this gelding presents. I would like to see him straighter down his knees but overall this is a good example of a halter gelding.

Rises to the top bearing a more striking profile. He possess better balance, being more correctly proportioned from shoulder to barrel to hip, and greater muscling with more definition and more muscle carried down into his forearms and gaskins. He exhibits a more angled shoulder, leading into a shorter, stronger back, as well as a long underline. He was refined in his head and neck, as well as more correctly turned over his croup, and square in his hip.
