Elite Mare Candidate and Champion Hanoverian mare at her inspection by Wellesley PF – World Cup IV, out of the outstanding foundation mare Mercedes PF - Merlin PF – Matcho x – Esuador xx.
EMC Winona PF is an exceptional Hanoverian mare who demands attention with her beauty and classic looks. Earning the AHS high scoring mare title at her inspection, she is an elegant tall mare, very well put together with a classical beautiful head. Winona excelled very quickly in her training before she became a member of our broodmare band at Ryan Pedigo Hanoverians. Her wonderful qualities that she herself showcases are her willingness to work, outstanding big stride, powerful balanced movement, careful scopey correct jumping style and great athleticism. As an outstanding producer Winona PF passes these outstanding quality to her offspring consistently.
We are very excited to announce that her spectacular son State Senator PF is starting his show career in 2019 and we believe he is bound for stardom. Winona's two year old daughter, Social Butterfly PF, has become a member of our broodmare band ready to foal in 2020. Another young son, yearling Scottish Heir PF, also shows tremendous potential. Winona PF is expecting a foal with Black Tie PF in 2019.

"Stood by the Holsteiner Verband, Million Dollar provides breeders with an extraordinary option." ~ Holsteiner Verband
Under the saddle of Sophie Hinners, he clearly demonstrated his potential over the 2022 season, wowing the crowds with his special charisma and quality jumping. The stallion displays the colorful markings of his sire, Plot Blue. His movement is very good, with an outstandingly consistent walk, very forward and ground-covering; a trot with good knee action; and a very efficient, powerful, and well-carried canter. His jumping is more than convincing, extremely careful, with a good bascule, an excellent push-off, and the ability expected from his bloodline.
He was 30-day tested in Schlieckau in December 2015, where he scored 8.25 on rideability and 9.75 on jumping ability. He was approved for the Holsteiner breeding program at the Elmshorn licensing in January 2016. Million Dollar passed his Münster-Handorf stallion sport test with flying colors. In terms of scores, he received 8.8 on ability and overall impression, 8.5 on rideability and technique, and 8.3 on canter, with a weighted final score of 8.57.
From ages four to six, Million Dollar became a serial winner in young horse jumping classes through M level under Ebba Johansson. For further training, he came to the stable of Jos Lansink to be shown by Frank Schuttert (NED). After being well-produced and selectively shown at the international level, he returned from Belgium with placings up to 1.45m to join the stable of Sophie Hinners. For the visitors of their first outings in Kronenberg and Opglabbeek, it was very obvious that this combination is a successful one. Wins and placings in three-star-rated Nations Cups with the German team in Mannheim (2nd), Bratislava (1st), and Budapest (1st) crowned the season for this exceptional pair. Unfortunately, a hernia ended Million Dollar’s showing season in late July 2022. Million Dollar has recovered well and is stood at Elmshorn, where he is available to breeders through fresh semen in the 2024 breeding season.
