His neck shows a lot of vertical frontage. Jerke is a typical Friesian type horse with a lot of presence. This honest, trustworthy stallion is a good worker. His walk is of good length with enough action and ‘tact’. The trot is also of good length with high active knee action. This also counts for the hind legs that are placed very well under. He shows his lovely uphill movement with good use of the back.
