Generally, German inspectors use a "5" as the "marginally acceptable" score and go up or down from there. 6 would be acceptable. 7 would be fairly good. 8 would be good. 9 would be very good. 10 would be excellent. The reality is that no horse gets a 10. VERY few get any 9s. So, most breeders are very happy with 8s and 7s. Grumble about 6s and are horrified at 5s.

Doesnt she have her Hanno scores? My Healthy Chocolate business allows me the lifestyle I desire in order to enjoy the horses I love.
