German term or phrase: höchste Abmessungen
Hello,

Best-in-class horses to be marketed have offspring adding to their value, too.

DE:
Y Fohlen sind sehr sportiv und absolut korrekt konstruiert.
Interessanterweise sind sie vielfach mit sehr guten Bewegungen, auch im Trab, ausgestattet.
Seine ersten Nachkommen präsentieren sich im ###Freispringen### förmlich beflügelt.
Mit der Qualität, Übersicht und vor allem Elastizität ihres Herrn Papa ausgestattet, lassen sie auch ***höchste Abmessungen*** wie ein Kinderspiel aussehen.

EN:
... they make even the ***greatest jumps*** look like child’s play?
... they make even the ***greatest jumps*** look like a walk in the park?

Or have I misunderstood the German?

Best regards,

  -> Regarding your comment in the discussion box, "hurdles" is more colloquial while "fences" appears to be the term of art. And "obstacles" is even used by the FEI (see the first reference). See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_jumping_obstacles
