I think Kate is on the right track, but I can't back it up with any authority either... (yet;)

This may be something along the lines of well-built or compact built, but horse lovers would know more about this.

well-conformed stallion

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

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

stallion with good confirmation

According to my son, the horse lover.
Note from asker:
I think the best solution is a combination of your suggestion and Nanda's (see google hits for 'with good conformation'), so thank you (and your son!) very much for your contribution!
