2004, 16.3-hand Hanoverian Stallion
“For me, the discussion to breed to Hampton was simple. He complimented my mares line with increased rideability. I needed to match to a great mover with the temperament of a saint; Hampton. My filly’s temperament and gaits are more than I could have hoped for!”
— Carola Henriks
