Of course as much as I like the big moving stallions, sometimes it worries me that people seem to be more concerned wih breeding to these ones than to the ones who hare proven performers/producers for the upper levels.

What a beautiful stallion. Yes, the movement is extraordinary for a horse of his age but I would think that was only his natural abilities amplified for the exhibition. <BR/><BR/>During schooling I'm sure that his handlers are careful to not overuse such gifts.

Hopefully he'll stay sound. <BR/><BR/>I have heard dressage trainers reprimand riders of big-moving horses, telling them not to let the trot get too passagey.

Their gait became exagerated. Somewhere in the back of my head, I remember some old dressage guru talking about that it is unfortunate that the trot is getting so passagey.

It sure looks like QB is passing on movement. On a superficial note I'm glad he's a chestnut!
