Damon Hill has been a prolific International Grand Prix campaigner.  His potential shone through at an early stage when he won his performance test in 2002.  A bronze medallist at the 2004 Bundeschampionate he then went on to win two World Young Horse Championships consecutively in 2005 and 2006.  His competition career flourished and he became a regular inclusion on German championship teams.  Highlights of his career include Olympic team silver and individual 4th placing at the London 2012 Olympics, silver medals at the 2013 European Championships and winning the coveted World Cup title in 2013.  Already noted as a producer of top dressage horses, with his offspring Damon Jerome an approved stallion and silver medallist at the World Young Horse Championships and the successful international dressage horse Damon’s Satelite.

Breitling W, himself also an international Grand Prix winner is notable for the passing on an inherent ability for top level sport to his offspring.  Prior to his licencing in Verden in 1998, Breitling had already competed at the Bundeschampionate, and was a finalist in the Nurnberger Burgpokal.  He then trained on to Grand Prix level and enjoyed great results with wins in Nations Cup events.  As he was mainly focused on his own competitive career, his use as a sire was relatively limited however he has several progeny who have had success at Grand Prix.  For this reason, Breitling W was proclaimed Hannoverian Stallion of the Year in 2014.  Grand Prix horses sired by Breitling W include Blind Date, Balmoral W, Burlington FRH, and Barolo winner at CDI Grand Prix level with Charlotte Dujardin. 

Rosenkavalier is considered one of the most significant Westphalian stallions.  He is by Romadour II and therefore shares the same sire as multiple Olympic Champion Rembrandt.  Rosenkavalier was the winner of the stallion performance test at Warendorf in 1983, and is known for passing on his ability to his progeny which include the legendary Rubinstein.
