well-conformed stallion
Explanation:
It's not the exact translation, but I think it conveys the meaning well enough, namely that it's a horse with a strong topline and a generally well-built body, making it easier to collect the horse in the various gaits.

Well formed stallion


Explanation:
Well formed or well built. I think it means well proportioned and powerful. Sorry no evidence but this might make sense in this context.
