Receiving such comments from the judges as;
Bond James Bond MB has both very good Trakehner and stallion type. Nobility, masculinity and harmony of body parts are exemplary in this stallion. His frame illustrates the desired strength in the top line. The shoulder is good. Saddle position is obvious. Bond had a fairly good walk with a four-beat rhythm. At the trot, he uses his joints well. The result was a gait that showed lightness, suspension, impulsion and engagement. Likewise, his canter had impulsion but could have had slightly more freedom in the shoulder. In his free jump phase, his front leg technique was good. Overall, Bond James Bond MB is a noble stallion, showing the desired "stallion presence". In-hand temperament is good.
