TRIUMPH AT BLENHEIM SPRING 2

Showcasing Excellence in Sport Horses

Celebrating the remarkable achievements of our Sport Horses at the Blenheim Spring 2 World Champion Hunter Rider week, we are thrilled to share the success of our two exceptional imported sport horses.

Firstly, PF's Dino Blue ~ an Oldenburg Gelding sired by " Diarado x Chacco Blue," who had his debut in the High Performance Conformation Hunters where he earned a Reserve Championship. Then, in the $15,000 USJHA International Hunter Derby he earned a top placing.

Equally noteworthy is PF's Nubia ~ a Holsteiner Mare sired by "Keaton x Casall," who debuted in the 3'0 Young Hunters 6 & Under category. Despite competing against older horses, Nubia's exceptional athleticism shone through, earning her a remarkable score of 86.

These outstanding performances underscore the incredible potential of both horses and reflect the dedication of our talented team, including top rider Simon Schroeder of Schroeder Sport Horses and Tracy Burroughs of Windsong.

We couldn't be prouder of their accomplishments and look forward to their continued success in the future.

The 2024 Show Season Is In Full Swing

The 2024 Show Season is in full swing here at Ryan Pedigo Sport Horses, and we would like to highlight two of our very special sport horses who have both had a successful start to the 2024 Show Season here on the West Coast. Our 2011 Oldenburg gelding, PF's Dino Blue (Diarado x Chacco Blue), previously a stallion before retiring from his breeding duties, has resumed his career in performance, starting at the 2024 Desert International Horse Parks Circuit in the 3'6 Performance Hunter Division. He will continue his 2024 AA-Circuit campaign throughout the country. PF's Dino Blue is not offered for sale at this time.

Furthermore, our imported 2020 Holsteiner mare, PF's Nubia (Keaton x Casall), began her successful horse show debut at the 2024 Desert International Horse Parks Circuit in the Young Hunter Division. She will continue her 2024 AA-Circuit campaign throughout the country. PF's Nubia is currently offered for sale.

Both of these wonderful performance horses are part of our impressive sport horse lineup of imports and homebreds. These two special horses showcase endless quality, scope, talent, class and athleticism; all a tribute to their world-class lineage. Please stay tuned for further updates as the 2024 Horse Show Season continues.

GOLDEN ROAD WIN'S THE PRESTIGIOUS 2024 $100,000 WCHR WEST COAST HUNTER SPECTACULAR

With much excitement, today we celebrate yet another milestone with one of our phenomenal imports' successes here on the West Coast. We are absolutely thrilled to congratulate Golden Road—previously known as PF's Galant Du Mesnil—on his WIN of the 2024 Desert International Horse Parks $100,000 WCHR West Coast Hunter Spectacular.

Golden Road—previously known as PF's Galant Du Mesnil—was thoughtfully selected out of hundreds of stallions in Europe by Ryan Pedigo Sport Horses, then imported and developed at our sport horse operation in Southern California. Golden Road was sold in late December 2023 to Balmoral, the current owner of Golden Road, whom we congratulate on their most recent great achievement.

Notably, Ryan Pedigo recalls a very memorable conversation with Balmoral's Carleton Brooks regarding Golden Road prior to their purchase of him. Ryan shares with Carleton, prior to Carleton setting eyes on Golden Road for the first time: "This horse will be one of the most famous hunters in the country, mark my words; this is one of the most talented young horses in the country. His jump and scope are going to leave your jaw on the floor."

Nothing is more fulfilling than to see our great vision and dream come to fruition, yet once again with our World Class Sport Horses. We are thrilled to announce that Ryan Pedigo Sport Horses will be continuing to offer foals to young sport horses sired by Golden Road—previously known as PF's Galant Du Mesnil.

Please stay tuned for Golden Road's big adventure to come—his golden path to the most prestigious horse show in the country, the "Devon Horse Show & Country Fair."

PF's Nubia Makes Her First Horse Show Debut

At Ryan Pedigo Sport Horses, we are thrilled to announce that PF's Nubia has made her first horse show debut in the baby green hunters. This phenomenally talented Imported Holsteiner Mare, just turned four years old, boasts impressive bloodlines (Keaton x Casall x Cassiano) and is adorned with chrome, beauty, athleticism, great jumping scope, style, and big, floaty movement.

PF's Nubia attended two shows earlier during the Desert International Horse Parks 2024 Winter Circuit to train in the warm-ups in preparation for her horse show debut, which took place during DIHP's Week 7. The debut was a great success, with PF's Nubia navigated by top international rider Joie Gatlin. Under Joie's guidance, we are very pleased with this young, talented mare's outstanding performance. Her talents and presence drew many spectators, and she is destined to be a Hunter Derby superstar.

We express our gratitude to Joie Gatlin for providing PF's Nubia with all the educational rides. Despite opting for simple lead changes training sessions in the corners, given PF's Nubia's exceptional talents, she still earned commendable ribbons. At this stage, ribbons are of lesser importance, as this mare is being prepared for her promising future. We feel fortunate to have Joie as a catch rider for our sport horses.

We extend our warmest congratulations to the new owners of these phenomenally talented sport horses. A heartfelt thank you goes to Top Rider/Agent Nick Haness of HunterBrook Farms for your continued support, hard work, and for all of the beautiful winning rides.

Additionally, here at Ryan Pedigo Sport Horses, we are pleased to announce that much of our focus and vision for our legendary "PF's" brand has evolved as we step into 2024. We are now primarily directed towards performance, focusing on campaigning our outstanding sport horses throughout the counties AAA rated Show Circuit, and promoting both our imports and homebred Sport Horses. Look for us across the California Circuit, Kentucky Horse Park, and at the 2024 Indoor Circuit, where we will be offering a select band of top sport horse Hunters and Jumpers.

Our stallion station's lineup of some of Europe's Top Sport Horse Stallions has undergone much reorganization as we concluded 2023. Stepping into 2024, PF's Catch will be our only Sport Horse Stallion standing, offering both Fresh and Frozen Semen services. The remainder of our stallion roster now only offers breeding services via Frozen Semen.

PF's Catch, the majestic 2013 grey Imported Holsteiner Stallion, needs no introduction. Ryan Pedigo Sport Horses purchased this world-class stallion directly from the Holsteiner Verband in 2022, where he notably had the most successful European Grand Prix campaign. Catch is the whole package; nationally, his progeny has consistently proven to be extraordinary in Sport Horse competition. They are stamped with their sire's great attributes: impressive scope, jumping athleticism, great rideability, versatility and solid-mindedness. Catch continues to be made available to US and Canadian Breeders, continuing his great legacy as one of the Sport Horse World's Top Jumper Sires.
