Background
High Chaparral is a dark-coated bay horse with a white star. He stands just over 16 hands high and was bred in County Tipperary, Ireland by Sean Coughlan. In September 2000, he was consigned by the Mountain View Stud to the Tattersalls sales, where he was bought for 270,000 guineas by Dermot "Demi" O'Byrne on behalf of Michael Tabor's Coolmore organisation. He was sent into training with Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle.
