HAMPTON GREEN FARM HISTORY
HGF was established in 1997 as a Dressage boarding, training and sales facility in Fruitport, Michigan, investing initially in young horses from Germany. Within a few years, HGF turned its focus entirely to the development of an elite line of PRE (Spanish) Horses for Dressage competition. Since that time, HGF expanded to include a winter farm in Wellington, Florida, where the sires and offspring of the breeding program have been campaigned with success in the most competitive dressage circuit in the country. In 2009 HGF was ranked in the top 15 most successful Dressage Owners in the United States (out of over 7500) and enjoys national and international recognition for its horses at all levels. Known for producing a modern-moving dressage horse of medium size with exceptional temperament and extravagant gaits, HGF has placed horses with amateurs, young riders, and professionals, including three Olympians. Since 2002 HGF sires and offspring have achieved the following recognition in the Dressage and Breed rings:
