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
Very successful mare line tracing back to the main stud mare Kassette by Harun al Raschid, Ar. from Trakehnen. Dam Keep Cool is a full sister to the versatile sire Kasparow (PSG dressage and CIC** eventing), who sired the 2003 brest jumper in NMS, Titulus (now Canada). Another full sister is the former top auction filly Kasixta, who was an under saddle riding horse champion at the Bundesturnier in Bonn-Rodderberg and is now a brood mare at Gestüt Wiesenhof. Another close relative is the Verband premium mare Karisma V by Windfall *Pg*, an accomplished M level dressage mare in Germany. The third dam Kanessa is also dam of one of the most exhiting and talented dressage horses of the ysounger Trakehner breed: Kira K (by EH Banditentraum), PSG and Inter I winner with Ingrid Klimke and Nicole Uphoff and now brood mare for her owners. Close maternal relation to the Grand Prix gelding Kevin (by EH Herzruf).
