Dominion Hemp partners with the elite US breeding operation Hyperion Stud

Hyperion Stud LLC is a premier horse breeding and sales operation located in the heart of Virginia horse country. Founded in 2009 by Vicky Castegren, Hyperion Stud is dedicated to providing top-quality bloodlines to the global show-jumping market.

Castegren's passion for horses began at a young age during summer camps in Vermont.

After graduating college in 1999, she founded Winterhaven Stables as a sports and sales facility. A decade later, She transformed the operation into Hyperion Stud, focusing on breeding elite performance horses.

Over the past fifteen years, Vicky has developed Hyperion Stud into one of the top breeding operations in the United States.

Through careful selection of mares and stallions from the best European bloodlines, Hyperion Stud has produced champion foals, premium mares and approved stallions. Castegren was the first American breeder to have a stallion approved by the prestigious Zangersheide Studbook in Belgium.

In 2019, the Holsteiner Verband approved her stallion Urthago in Germany, making Castegren one of the few American breeders to achieve this honor.

The foundation of Hyperion Stud's breeding and training programs lies in its central Virginia location, where it breeds mares and stallions, raises foals, develops show horses and provides retirement pastures for veteran animals.

The Virginia operation focuses mainly on breeding and training Dutch Warmbloods, Holsteiners, and Hannoverians.

With a growing international reach, Hyperion Stud continues its mission to produce elite performance horses.
