The sire
EH Hohenstein was a premium stallion of his approval in 1993, winner of the rideability part of his 100 day test in Adelheitsdorf, Bundeschampionat qualifier and successful S level dressage horse. EH Hohenstein's most noteworthy sons include the international Grand Prix stallion EH Münchhausen TSF, the bronze medalist at the FEI World Championships for young dressage horses, Insterburg TSF, the premium stallion Tambour and the Hanoverian champion stallion His Highness, who was sold at auction for over 500.000 Euro to American owners. EH Caprimond was reserve champion of his approval, winner of his 100 day test in Adelheitsdorf, Grand Prix dressage winner in the show ring and is sire of several approved stallions, not only in the Trakehner breed. His influence on the breed is also very big through numerous daughters, of which many have become stallion dams. Caprimond also has a battery of kids competing in the upper levels of dressage and has the highest breed index for type in the Hanoverian breed. The dam line of Hohenstein, Halensee, was predominantly kept active at the Verband stud Birkhausen in Rhineland-Palatinate in the 70s and 80s and also produced the ATA's outstanding movement producer Horizon and the approved Hamlet Go, Harlem Go and Hohenstein II (Hungary). This dam line has the stallion candidates 1 Helanris, 8 Halimey Go, 31 Honoré and 60 Hachez in this year's crop in Neumünster.
The dam
Iverness is a full sibling to the dressage horses Ira Bella and Indira Ghandi. Dam sire Preussenprinz was champion in NMS in 1989 and passed an excellent 100 day test. He made a name for himself as a great movement producer whose offspring also show way above average jumping qualities. Preussenprinz' dam line is the purebred TB line of Psyche xx, which is especially successful in show jumping within the Trakehner population. Dam Ilexa is an in hand champion mare and produced several premium daughters. The dam line of Irene also produced Isenstein and Schönborn, and Ilexa II is also represented by stallion candidate 66 Irish Coffee.
