Thank you to the exhibitors for your entry. 6 entries. (the show secretary informed me that this was also a record entry for ESS at this show). Movement was the deciding factor amongst several worthy exhibits.  Springer's should have good forward reach with a clear swing of the front legs from the shoulders and good rear drive with rear pasterns well under the body.
