Hi, does any one know anything about the KWPN stallion Upper Class? He is by Polansky out of Doliena by Doruto.

Here is his foal report.

Polansky x Doruto pref
Upper-Class showed a uniform collection
of very well developed, long legged,
uphill built, riding type foals that stand in
very good rectangular model. The foals
move with much self-carriage and suppleness.
The foreleg should have more
knee action. The hindleg is used well.
The head is expressive. The poll has
good length. The neck generally has
good shape and length. Sometimes,
while standing, the muscling underneath
is a little heavy. The wither is well developed.
The shoulder has good length and
position. The back has good length and
muscling. The loins are well muscled
and well connected. The croup has more
than sufficient length and position. The
hamstring should be longer. Sometimes
the foreleg is toed out. The hindleg is
sickle-hocked. The legs as a whole are
more than sufficiently developed and
show quality.
The walk has good scope and is supple.
The trot is carried, uphill with good selfcarriage
and good use of the hindleg. The
foals jump easily into the canter, have
balance and suppleness. The foals should
have more knee action during movement.
The collection consisted of 14 foals
picked by the KWPN and two that were
selected by the owner. The mares were of
average quality.
Shown: 16 foals out of 69 breedings.
Breeding advice: Upper-Class appears to
fit dressage mares that lack development,
model and movement. The mare
must have good knee action.

And a link to his gorgeous photo. http://www.leadingstallions.nl/img/stallions/Upper-Class.jpg

link to website of his owner (which has some more info and great photos): http://www.stalpoppelaars.nl/_html/main.php?id=37&&taal=en&&page=hengsten

and link to the part owners website who I think handles the breeding. This page is not in English but there is a decent video link of him on this page. http://www.lauwvanvliet.nl/hengsten.asp?cur_id=1&h_id=12

Good luck. He is very cute. Great hind end, not so fancy in front. Looks to have a very nice disposition in the video.
