When it comes to nobility, quality of movement and rideability, Hampton is a wonderful, near perfect copy of his great sire, His Highness. In a very competitive field of participants, Hampton finished the 2007 Stallion Performance Test in Schlieckau as reserve champion with 132.24 points in total. He received 9s for character, willingness to work, trot, canter and rideability. He received 8,5 for walk, canter and show jumping potential. Hampton has built up a string of victories in the riding horse tests, always scoring high notes and winning, for instance, the Sieger Prize in Elmlohe with a score of 9.0.

Hampton's sire His Highness was the celebrated Champion Stallion of the 2002 Hanoverian licensing and sold at the stallion auction to Louise and Doug Leatherdale/USA for 515,000 Euros. In 2003 he won his stallion performance test in Prussendorf with a total index of 149.24 and also won the dressage index with a score of 155.04. Following this, His Highness was also crowned the Champion Stallion with emphasis on dressage in Denmark. He then won one test for riding or dressage horses after the other and in 2005 and 2006 he placed near the top in the Bundeschampionat final for five year old dressage horses.

When he was six, his very first tests in medium (M) level dressage were rewarded with first place ribbons and further training soon brought him to advanced level. Ten sons from his first crop were licensed, including two premium stallions, Hochfein and Hendrix, and Hoftanz who was sold to Denmark for 120,000 Euros. His Highness had to be put down in 2007, the result of a tragic accident.

Hampton was the first foal for his dam, St.Pr.St. Red Chili, a multiple I A prize winning mare at the show in Bruchhausen-Vilsen. Red Chilli was part of the mare family that won the produce of dam class at the 2007 Herwart-von-der-Decken Show. Dam sire Rotspon was the Stallion Performance Test champion and has so far produced 21 licensed sons.
