For the two shows, Winterthur posted scores from 8.0 to 8.5 for conformation, walk, trot and general impression. Judges comments included: “Shows good engagement and freedom; clear uphill balance; elastic; big overstep; good dressage prospect; nice stallion prospect.”
Winterthur then went on to win the huge and competitive yearling colts/geldings class at the nation's most prestigious breed show on the calendar, Dressage at Devon 2006, scoring 78.3%, and went on to place 6th in the USDF Breeders Championship for Colts/Geldings.
