Judge Christian Schacht, [German Breeding Director for ISR/Oldenburg N.A.,] remarked that of the 21 foals presented, he was the only one that really moved through the back, to the point of asking us to present him again at the trot again, to show the audience what he meant!", Dr. Rebecca Splan, Virginia Tech.
