This striking, 16-hand, black bay, AHS registered, EMC Hanoverian and ISR/Oldenburg premium mare is one of the few in the US by Hohenstein.  Like her 1/2 sibling in Germany, Her Highness won in the USDF yearling division.   Additionally, in 2004, she tied for 7th in USDF Horse of the Year Awards.   She is very well broke and going over fences safely and simply enough for a beginner to ride.  Although she is bred for the Grand Prix dressage ring, she would make a pefect small, junior hunter with her incredible form and honesty over fences.
 
Sire: Hohenstein was the 2002 Trakehner stallion of the year and ranks 6th in the dressage index breeding value of his Hanoverian daughters in the Hanoverian Yearbook of Stallions, 2003.

Dam: Dulany is an Elite Mare who was AHS Horse of the Year in the 3yr old Fillies. EM Dulany's dam is Diva, Dressage at Devon winner, producer of multiple site champions, and a full sibling to the 2002 100-day test winner Di Vinci.
