Winterwood Stallions
 

In keeping with our commitment to have top quality brood mares we seek the best stallions to complement our mares.  

The stallions are not ours but are among the most desirable for the breed. All stallions are chosen for their quality in passing on desirable traits of temperament and rideability.  Of course a stallion is only one part of the equation and is why we endeavor to match the best stallion to our mares based on their ability to deliver their part of the equation.

His Highness   (by Hohenstein x Donnerhall)    2000   Black    16.1  hh

His Highness was the 2002 Hanoverian Licensing champion, and was the stallion Performance Test winner in Prussendorf and licensing champion at the Danish Warmblood licensing. His Highness was purchased by Doug and Louise Leatherdale of the United States and remained at the Stallion Station Meyer in Dorum , Germany.  This outstanding stallion was trained under the supervision of Klaus Balkenhol who felt he held great promise for the Grand Prix.

Tragically the stallion sustained a fracture in an accident at the station, where despite intensive veterinary efforts, the fracture was too complicated and His Highness had to be humanely put down on April 30, 2007.  The filly he left us with is truly his princess and may be seen on the foal page.
