Sv: Gulanlag hos Ravell?

Regarding Ivory:
If I don't remember wrong, he completed his stallion performance test in 2012, meaning he made it to the second phase of the test. The stallions that are too far from approval is recomended not to continue after half the test, and since Ivory made to the second half there must have been something the breeding comittee liked about him.
However, I agree that his type is not ideal, short frontlegs and a bit lack of character. Really nice movements though it was a bit hard to see, and my personal opinion is that his training before the test and also the presenting during the test could have been a lot better.
Now after the test he has a new rider and won a qualification to our 4-yearold championships. He there scored 88,4%
9.2 for trot
8.5 for walk
9.5 for canter
8.0 for sub...
9.0 for general impression
Sadly he didn't start in the finals, so I haven't actually seen him since the stallion test. I hope he comes back and has evolved as much as his scores from the qualification suggests!
He as well comes from a very strong damline, same as Grand Prix stallions Master and Tip-Top.
With all that said, I think that Ravell is a great stallion and probably the better choice, but I don't have much to add about him that hasn't already been said.
