Trakehner Stallion of the Year 2002 is Hohenstein. At the 2002 Trakehner Stallion Licensing in Neumunster, Germany, Hohenstein was awarded the title of 2002 Trakehner Stallion of the Year. Bred by Harry Bartsch from Gottingen, Germany, in 1991, Hohenstein is by Caprimond out of Helena XIV (by Matador x Grimsel). As a two year old stallion, Hohenstein got the premium title at the licensing. As a three-year old he finished second in the Stallion Performance Test in Adelheidsdorf. He was a finalist in the five-year old division at the German Bundeschampionate, and continued to be trained up to Intermediaire II level by Andreas Platzdasch.
