German term or phrase: eingemustert
Die Hengste sind meist nicht besonders *eingemustert,* kurzum: Was den Service am Kunden aus der Warmblutzucht angeht, dafür haben die Vollblut-Leute wenig Gespür.

This sentence deals with the Stallion Show held every two years at the Weidenpesch Race Track in Cologne. I have in English:

The stallions are usually not *presented* particularly well. In short: the thoroughbred people don't have much of a feel when it comes to the needs of the warmblood breeders.

Can anyone confirm or deny the use of "presented" for "eingemustert," or another alternative.

Thanks - your help is appreciated.

"so many well prepared and well bred stallions..." => http://www.coyoterunfarm.com/Oldenburg 2000 LicensingPDF.pdf

the stallions are more or less prepared by the owner for presentation => linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1871141306003507

This paragraph deals with the lack of adequate thoroughbred testing means in the warmblood breed and what is offered at that thoroughbred stallion show. These stallions are the ones who usually can't make it in the thoroughbred world, therefore another use needs to be found for them.

Both answers, "to pass muster" and "to prepare" fit beautifully; however, I can only choose one and "prepare" is more universally understood.

Thanks to everyone for your effort and the links!

Reference information:
In diesem Arikel wird beschrieben, was eigentlich das "Einmustern" ist. Wenn ich richtig verstanden habe, umfasst der Begriff die komplette Vorbereitung eines Pferdes zur Präsentation, beispielsweise bei einer Zuchtschau.
