As a 4 yr. old, he was Reserve Champion at his 30-day and 70-day Performance Tests, earning 10’s for his rideability and walk, and 9’s for his trot, canter, and willingness to work. He was again a finalist at the Bundeschampionat that same year. Hilltop Farm imported Royal Prince in the fall of 2003 and in the spring, Royal Prince made sweeping wins of all his classes at the 2004 East Coast Selection Trials for the FEI World Championships for Young Horses and earned an unprecedented score of 9.82. At the Championships in Verden, Germany, Royal Prince made a bit of American history when he earned an overall score of 8.84 and a final standing of 4th place in the world! No American entry to date has placed so successfully in this international event.
