April 1, 2005 - by Alaskatraum, out of Hexe IX (by Symbol). In 2008 we introduced HOPE OF HEAVEN, hoping he would arrive that year. However, it was decided that he would remain in Germany for the year, to complete his stallion performance test there. This young approved stallion impresses us with his fabulous pedigree, his outstanding gaits, and excellent scope over fences. He has the ideal temperament, being active and playful while always remaining cool and relaxed. Hope of Heaven finally arrived at the farm in December of 2011, and should be available for spring breeding!     Click on his photo to learn more!

Humble`s pedigree is a genetic dream -- Abiza, Heimische, and Bukephalos -- the best proven performance bloodlines in the Trakehner breed. His first two foal crops have exceeded expectations -- they are outstanding!
