HOF Prince Of Perfection CH++++
(HOF Perfect Image X HOF Princess Kostalot++++ by Cougar Rock)
1996 Bay Domestic Arabian Stallion
C&H Ranch
Horses Forever
Conditions: I would like the foal to remain at least three years younger than my stallion for realism purposes. I do not retain buy-backs or rights on ASBA foals. Please send the foal's basic information to me when it is decided so I can include it in my stallion's progeny list.

Really, enough couldn't be said about Prince and what a great horse he is. We have a special fondness for him, as he is our first bred foal in HF and he has been with C&H from nearly the beginning. Our foundation sire on whom much of our initial successes rest, Prince has proven time and again to be a feared competitor as a saddleseat and halter horse. He tried his hoof at nearly everything, from track racing to the western arena, but really found his niche as an English Pleasure mount. So much, that he made it clear he needed to be brought back out of retirement to continue his career in 2011! His bloodlines are some of the oldest in HF, with his sire being the first HOF horse and one of the very first horses created here. His dam has set records by being the highest pointed horse in HF, with Prince close behind her. He will most likely surpass her record summer of 2012. His brother set records as being one of the youngest HOF horses...and his babies have set records of their own. Prince is related to a vast amount of HF's Arabians and half-Arabians, and is known for siring not only his charismatic yet sweet temperament, but also versatility...depending on the mare, Prince has had babies competing in disciplines across the board.
----------------------------------------------------
HOF Prince Of Perfection CH++++ is the title holder of many things for C&H Ranch and HF alike. We are proud to have this wonderful stallion bred, born, trained, and shown under C&H's colors. We couldn't ask for a better or more versatile stallion with an outstanding personality. Prince is the true meaning of a great stallion; he performs flawlessly and into the record books, and sires foals that are better than he is.
BACKGROUND
We first met Prince's sire, HOF Perfect Image, at an exhibition. At the time, our own HOF Princess Kostalot+++ (his dam) was beginning her show career and we hadn't even dreamed of her achieving what she has today. At the exhibition, the gorgeous dark bay Perfect Image was honored for his obtaining the title of being the first Hall Of Fame horse in HF, and was booking a limited amount of breedings. We jumped on the chance, and decided to breed Princess to this outstanding specimen of a horse. The result was a dark bay colt born November 2, 1998, the first horse bred, born, and trained at C&H. Prince has fulfilled our dreams since that day and then some. Setting HF records seems to run in his family, as his sire is the first HOF horse ever, his dam is the highest pointed horse ever, his half-brother is the youngest horse to earned HOF status ever, Prince has sired the most foals than any Arabian in HF, and his bloodlines are the oldest to be found in HF. His sire was one of the first Arabians to be found when HF opened in 1997.
THE SHOW HORSE
Speedaged to two years, Prince began kicking butt in the ring immediately. He leaves a lasting impression with his regal appearance and calm attitude. He has gained title after title, especially in his halter classes. His long-bodied and leggedness coupled with his typey head and hooky neck makes him a statuesque competitor with a lasting impression. Prince is currently most noted for his title of being the second highest pointed Arabian AND horse in HF. Who is ranked first? His dam. He IS the highest pointed stallion in HF ever. His abilities are amazing, and he keeps up with the pace with no problems whatsoever. He's still going strong after all these years, and there's no retirement in the immediate future for him.
Prince is also known as one of the most versatile Arabians in HF. He's competed in English and Western disciplines, as well as taking a break from competition to try his hand at track racing. He became a stakes winner and set a track record. Prince has also completed small endurance races here and there. The longest he entered in was the Tevis, where he took sixth place in under 24 hours, received silver buckle, and won the Haggins Cup for being the most fit with the quickest recovery time. His niche has been English though, so he has stuck with that for the last four years. Throughout it all, he has remained sound and fit.
