Conformation Appraisal

1. Balance - Initially, the most striking element about Pejczyk is superior overall balance as an individual. This trait prompted Scott Benjamin, noted judge and equine scholar, to comment "WA Pejczyk stands out amongst stallions in the Arabian breed as one of the most correct and functionally athletic."

2. Hip - The hip is the engine of the performance horse, and Pejczyk's is long and exceptionally well-muscled. As proof of his functional power, Pejczyk recorded a 3 furlong/ 37.1 seconds official work at Arapahoe Park as a 3 year old - Thoroughbred type speed that defies superlatives!

3. Chest - Pejczyk's deep, wide and well-developed chest with long sloping shoulder completes this picture of exceptional overall balance. Pejczyk does not "disappear" when viewed from the front.

4. Legs - Simply put, few horses can compare to Pejzyck's conformationally correct and clean legs, both fore and aft. This attribute has earned praised from show ring judges - both sport horse and halter - along with track trainers and vets. As proof of this correctness, Pejczyk raced sound and medication free for four seasons.

5. Neck - One of the more exciting attributes that Pejczyk is regularly passing on to his foals is a well set, flexible and useable neck with outstanding length of pole that promises to bridle extremely well.

6. Coupling - Pejczyk's well muscled back, short and extremely well coupled, is a significant contribution that he can make as a sire to the breed.

7. Gaskin - His well-muscled gaskin has few equals in the Arabian breed and is a tremendous compliment to his hip and loin. In this respect, he is a significant improvement over his sire - already noted for this trait.

8. Eye - A large and luminous eye gives the head a handsome appearance - a trait of Pejczyk and his foals.

9. Ears - Another attribute in which Pejczyk is an improvement over his sire is his short, typey ears.
