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.
