Platinum vom Rappenhof is approved by the ATA and is Performance Star Approved by the ISR/OLDNA. ATA inspection comments: Platinum vom Rappenhof, a brown'black colt, was inspected as a 3 1/2-year-old. Platinum is an elegant and expressive stallion. He is of medium frame and substance and shows much harmony and balance. His neck is set on his frame properly, and he possesses a smooth top line with proper back length and coupling. His forelegs could be more correct as he has some medial rotation, toes in somewhat and paddles slightly. His movement, however, is active, covers a lot of ground and is elastic in all gaits. There is good self-carriage and he shows a good deal of athleticism. He is handy and light on his feet. His jumping technique could be improved with more tucking of forelegs. He has a very good temperament. Platinum appears to be a good cross for mares that have correct foundations but need refinement and improvement in movement. (Brad Kerbs) |
