Hohenstein, 2002 Trakehner
Stallion of the Year, is a noble stallion who attracts
attention with his type and expression and beautiful black coat. A
harmonious horse that stands over a lot of ground, he possesses optimal
movement in all three basic gaits. His energetic rear quarters produce
movement with lots of swing and verve. He was the outstanding stallion
of his 1993 keuring, Reserve Champion of his stallion performance test,
where he was the most striking and noticeable horse. He lived up to the
attention with a win in the rideability portion of the test. Hohenstein
was the 1995 Trakehner Champion and third in the Federal "S"
Championships. By the age of seven, he had already won his first
"S" dressage event. He also has plenty of wins in Prix St.
George and Intermediare I. Hohenstein's sire, Elite Stallion Caprimond, has achieved a special position within and without the Trakehner breed
by his prepotency to sire dressage talent. Hohenstein's offspring are
following this example, and he already has twelve approved sons, one of
them Champion, Muenchhausen. Four of his get were at the Federal
Championship of Germany 2000, and one, Habitus, sold for DM 320,000 at
Verdan. His offspring continue to be much sought after and achieve
record prices at auction. In 1999 Hohenstein was elected an Elite
Stallion. He sires 65% black offspring, and seems to have a
"nick" with Weltmeyer mares.
