His Highness was the celebrated Champion Stallion of the 2002 Hanoverian licensing and sold at the stallion auction to Louise and Doug Leatherdale/USA for 515,000 Euros. In 2003 he won his stallion performance test in Prussendorf with a total index of 149.24 and also won the dressage index with a score of 155.04. Following this, His Highness was also crowned the Champion Stallion with emphasis on dressage in Denmark. He then won one test for riding or dressage horses after the other and in 2005 and 2006 he placed near the top in the Bundeschampionat final for five year old dressage horses. When he was six, his very first tests in medium (M) level dressage were rewarded with first place ribbons and further training soon brought him to advanced level. Ten sons from his first crop were licensed, including two premium stallions, Hochfein and Hendrix, and Hoftanz who was sold to Denmark for 120,000 Euros. His Highness had to be put down in 2007, the result of a tragic accident.

Hampton was the first foal for his dam, St.Pr.St. Red Chili, a multiple I A prize winning mare at the show in Bruchhausen-Vilsen.
Her sire, Rotspon, who stands at the State Stud in Celle, won his performance test in 1998. Twenty-one of his sons have been licensed, including a performance test winner and a two-time Bundeschampionat finalist, Rascalino, and a Vice Bundeschampion and finalist in the World Championships for dressage horses, Royal Blend. More than 70 of Rotspon's daughters have received State Premium.
The granddam, St.Pr.St. Carina, also produced a medium (M) level driving horse called First Class (by Prince Thatch xx) and a State Premium candidate, Faconnable (by Fürst Heinrich).
In the third generation, Calypso II and Freiherr are further guarantees for performance. |
