Hamilton AS

Information

About - Hamilton AS is an impressive, large-framed young stallion whose talent for show jumping is unmistakable. At just four years old, he already demonstrates exceptional scope, carefulness and a powerful, uphill canter. His reliable temperament further underlines his promise as a future sport horse.

Sire - His sire Hickstead won more than €1.5million in prize money under Canadian Eric Lamaze, and the highlight of his career was individual Olympic gold and team silver in Hong Kong 2008. He also won World individual bronze and Pan Am individual bronze and team silver (2010 Kentucky & 2007 Rio respectively). In 2007 Hickstead and Eric Lamaze won the coveted $1Million CN International at the Spruce Meadows Masters Tournament in Calgary. At the 2011 Spruce Meadows meeting, Hickstead jumped in seven classes; he won three of them, and was second, fourth twice, and tenth in the other four. He won the Queen Elizabeth II Cup a record four times, and won more than 30 international grands prix during his career, which was tragically cut short in his prime..  

Damline - Hamilton AS’s dam, Urzona, brings together two of Holstein’s most influential sires: Casall and Carthago. Casall competed at the highest international level for nearly a decade under Rolf‑Göran Bengtsson, while Carthago, a two-time Olympic horse with Jos Lansink, is synonymous with scope and rideability. Urzona has already proven her worth as a broodmare, producing the Holstein Reserve Champion Lyjanero (Landos), sire of several 1.60m horses, as well as Campitelli (Canoso), successful up to 1.50m, and Casarella, who reached 1.40m. Her half-sister Caythaga also competed successfully at 1.4m.

Hamilton AS descends from the celebrated Holstein dam line 18a1, which has produced numerous international 1.60m horses, including Kino (Karen Polle), Glamour Girl (Henrik von Eckermann), and Cielito Lindo (Max Kühner). This lineage is known for consistently delivering horses with athleticism, scope and competitive spirit.
