Very rarely has a horse touched so many people as Hickstead, the stallion who died as a Champion and was born as a Legend. 28 international victories, 5 medals at the big championships and Grand Prix wins in Aachen and Spruce Meadows made Hickstead immortal. 

His presence, untamable fighting spirit and unparalleled carefulness made Hickstead an icon of the modern sport. A new generation is coming and is stepping out of their father’s shadow.

Horses like Bianca du Lys with Marie Hecart, Fyenda P of Alex Gill and the highly talented Hickstead White of Gestüt Sprehe, suggest that the story of the Beijing Olympic champion is far from over. Meanwhile, Admara II, bred out of a sister of Hickstead, proves that the genetics behind this showjumping miracle, are based on a very solid foundation.
