Post Graduate (2,1)

1^st        Powell & Tatum’s Madreliath’s Asta. 20mth B. Not a happy girl today which affected her on the stand and on the move. When she did start to relax she has a very nice shape. Good in head, nice length of neck to well laid shoulders.  Good bone and feet. Lovely topline when relaxed and a good turn of stifle. Pulling away from her handler on the move which spoils her fore & aft movement, showed good drive in profile. Hope she settles and reaches her potential.
