He's a Hanoverian Warmblood - at least that's what he'll be if and when he passes his inspections over the next couple of seasons. I don't have the bloodlines, but you can find the details on all the foals on Hilltop Farm's website. It's in Colora, Maryland.

I couldn’t find them on the site. there was a for sale page with some adults, yearlings, and a couple of this years foals, but not the one you posted. Also are they really closing!?
My poor girl Princess Isis had a horrible accident Wednesday, on the way to the vet hospital. I was taking her there for a scheduled surgery to get some bad teeth removed due to EORTH, when she fell in the trailer and cut her leg horribly.
Fortunately, we were really close to the vet hospital when it happened. A sharp turn to get on their street, and I think she was leaning against the divider so much that the breast bar became detached, swung forward, she went down and her left front leg broke the driver's-side escape door and went under it.
I'm so grateful she's such a sensible, smart, trusting girl that she didn't thrash around and injure herself worse, she stayed still and waited for rescue. The vets and assistants were all right there to help me get her up and out of the trailer. And since she already had an appointment, they treated her and stitched up her leg as soon as both she and me were able to breathe normally again.
Her leg after rinsing but before treating - the lower white spot is her cannon bone, yikes! And the higher white spot is her DD Flexor tendon.
The vet did X-rays to check for fractures, and also checked if the tendons were compromised by injecting saline, seeing if it came out somewhere else, and checking the pressure.
No fractures, no tendons compromised! I feel so blessed for this horse and these vets. This accident could have turned out so much worse! When I think about how bad it could have been - my precious horse thrashing in horrible pain, maybe needing euthanasia...so much gratitude.
Here's after the vet stitched up her leg, looks a lot better except for that missing chunk above the fetlock. It will have to granulate in and hopefully not form proud flesh.
Her healing will take some time. Stall rest, antibiotics and daily cold-hosing and bandage changes for 2-3 weeks, but she is being a complete angel for everything.
This next picture is today (Saturday, the injury was Wednesday) and I can't believe how good her leg looks already. The vet warned me that some of the stitches might fail, but none have so far. The healing flesh looks pink and healthy, no proud flesh forming as of today. A bit of swelling at her knee, but not much. She hates being on stall rest but is accepting it OK, because the barn professionals are turning out her two pasture mates into the pasture right behind her barn, where she can see them and talk to them. So she hasn't needed Tradozone since her first day of having to stay in.
She's been a total angel for all her bandage changes. The vet sent me home with enough supplies for a few days and my order from Valley Vet won't get here until Monday, so I today I had to raid my Human first-aid kit for supplies and wrap her leg in military camo.
Which looks totally appropriate on such a brave hero of a chestnut mare!
I didn't want to haul my injured Princess Isis home from the vet hospital in my damaged trailer, and figured the vets would know of local professionals who could take her home. The vet assistant had a good friend in mind who I'd heard of as a friend of a friend, and she took my precious girl back home - and as it turns out, her husband does trailer repairs!
So I have hope everything will turn out OK, after some time.
Never mind my hopes - my brave Princess Isis KNOWS she will heal, be fine and happy.

Hello again! Oh my gosh wow, I haven't really been on this thread much but I had to say oh wow, what an awful injury. I'm so glad to hear she's been a good girl for everything, and that everything worked out. Thank goodness you were literally at the vets when it happened!
I remember about 2 years ago now my project mare got caught in the fence (mind you, the day she was going to be moved to our now location from the old one ...) and she totally ripped her knee open. When my boss told me she was calling the vet, I knew it was bad lol (we treat as many injuries at home as possible, so the vet is reserved for emergencies), because I was on my way to help with the move when they discovered her. I have to say, I think Princess Isis has a worse injury though, yikes. The cut avoided injuring the tendons, but Jett's gash was nearly to the bone, too. But man, I know the pain of the process in taking care of it. I hope she has a smooth, speedy recovery!
there was a for sale page with some adults, yearlings, and a couple of this years foals, but not the one you posted. Also are they really closing!? 
but I am SO glad she is doing okay now!
