Registration Number: DE421000064023
Holstein Mare Family: BWP 34

​

PF's Rubina (Registered Name: Rubin HaS) was selected, purchased, and imported by owner Ryan R. Pedigo of Ryan Pedigo Sport Horses in 2023 from the Fohlenauktion Hörup. Rubina's modern build, world-class genetics, athleticism, jumping scope, class, and classic looks truly elevate her to what the jumping sport horse world recognizes as a "World-Class Sport Horse," through top genetics and outstanding athletic abilities.​ Rubin HaS’s dam and the stallion Million Dollar are full siblings. In 2022, Sophie Hinners took over the reins of Million Dollar and the pair had a successful season, achieving victories and top placings in the 3* Nations Cup with the German Olympic Team. They earned second-place honors in Mannheim, and first-place finishes in both Bratislava and Budapest. Unfortunately, a hernia brought the pair’s season to an early end in July. Million Dollar recovered well and was shifted to focus on breeding for the 2023 season. He has three quality gaits, convincing jump scope, carefulness, and an overall excellent impression—everything expected from his pedigree.

 

Million Dollar completed his 30-day test in Schlieckau in December 2015 with a rideability score of 8.25 and a jumping ability score of 9.75. He was approved for Holsteiner breeding at the January 2016 licensing in Elmshorn. He finished his sports test in Münster-Handorf with flying colors, earning scores of 8.8 for ability and overall impression, 8.5 for rideability and manners, 8.3 for canter, and a final overall score of 8.57. Between the ages of four and six, Million Dollar became a consistent winner in young horse jumping classes at A to M levels under Ebba Johansson. For further development, he joined the training stable of Jos Lansink and later campaigned on the international stage under Frank Schuttert (NED), earning top placings up to 1.45m in Belgium before joining Sophie Hinners’ stable in early 2022.

​

His sire, Plot Blue, was an international superstar who competed at the top level for many years. He earned countless victories, medals, and Olympic team appearances. He competed in five Senior Championships, two World Cup Finals, 23 GCT Grand Prix events, and earned over €900,000 in prize money on the GCT Tour alone. Under his long-time rider Marcus Ehning, the pair won the Geneva World Cup Final, earned Team Gold for Germany at the 2010 Kentucky World Equestrian Games, finished fifth individually at the London 2012 Olympic Games, and secured numerous World Cup qualifier placements.

 

His dam, Gin Tonic de Muze, was only used for breeding, but his granddam Daytone de Muze was successful up to 1.60m with Belgian rider Jody Bosteels. His great-grandmother, Wallon de Muze, also competed up to 1.60m with Michael Hécart, as did her full sister Walnut de Muze under Harrie Smolders.

 

ABOUT SIRE: Cornet Obolensky

Cornet Obolensky has ranked at the top of the WBFSH Jumping Sire Rankings for many years. Never before has a stallion dominated international breeding and competition to such a degree. Twenty-seven of his oldest offspring have already reached the highest levels of show jumping. It is rare to find a stallion so consistently capable of passing on his talent for elite sport. From the moment he entered the breeding world, riders and breeders were captivated by this striking grey stallion. At the 2001 Westphalian stallion inspection, the audience watched breathlessly as this product of the golden combination Clinton x Heartbreaker effortlessly showcased his athleticism. During his 30-day test, Cornet Obolensky received a score of 9.24 for jumping and a perfect 10 for free jumping. When Cornet Obolensky joined rider Marco Kutscher, admiration for his talent skyrocketed. The pair qualified for the Bundeschampionate finals with scores others could only dream of. With ease, they conquered the most difficult courses in the world.

 

Cornet Obolensky’s first crop of sons produced several top-class stallions, including Cristallo I (1.60m classes with Henrik von Eckermann), Cornado NRW (1.60m with Marcus Ehning), and Conte Bellini (a standout in the 2013 World Cup Finals in Göteborg with Kristaps Neretieks). Daniel Deusser’s ace, Cornet d’Amour, also came from this first crop. In 2013, Cornet d’Amour won the German Championship and placed fourth individually at the European Championships in Herning.

 

Other top horses from Cornet Obolensky’s early breeding success include Marco Kutscher’s Cornet’s Cristallo and Emanuele Gaudiano’s EC star Cocoshynsky. With at least 32 offspring already competing at 1.60m level, Cornet Obolensky continues to set a new standard in sport horse breeding. He has maintained his top placement in the WBFSH Jumper Sire Rankings since 2013 and remains one of the most proven sires for passing on elite talent.

ABOUT DAM SIRE: Plot Blue

Plot Blue, dam sire to PF’s Rubina, was a legendary KWPN stallion known for his incredible international success with German rider Marcus Ehning. Together, they won the 32nd Rolex FEI World Cup Final in 2010, followed by multiple CSI5* wins in 2011 and 2012, including the 2012 Gothenburg CSI5* W. Their strong performances earned them a place on the German Olympic Team for the London 2012 Olympic Games, where Plot Blue jumped two clear rounds and finished 12th overall in the individual standings.

Plot Blue was bred by the Burgers family of Moergestel and possessed elite jumping genes. His dam, Ilotte (by Pilot), also produced the KWPN-approved stallion and Grand Prix jumper Oklund, as well as the national 1.40m jumper Nilotte. His sire, Mr. Blue, was a successful international show jumper himself and produced many international offspring, including Savanna B, Okometa, Parmala Douche, Santana B, Sunday B, and True Blue B, among others.

ABOUT DAM’s Grandsire: Vigo d'Arsouilles

Vigo d’Arsouilles was born in 1998 in the stables of his breeder Didier Viaene and approved by BWP in 2001. Later, he was also approved by SBS, Holstein, SF, KWPN, and OS. His sire was the legendary Nabab de Rêve, and his dam Illico d’Arsouilles was by Fleuri du Manoir. Vigo’s dam line is filled with horses that competed at the highest levels. Vigo himself made history by becoming World Champion in 2010 with rider Philippe Le Jeune. The pair competed internationally for more than six years and shared numerous career highlights, including wins in Nations Cups at La Baule and Gijon, the Grand Prix of Royan, and many placings at prestigious international competitions. Philippe was deeply emotional at the loss of his champion horse, whose heart and talent were unmatched. As a sire, Vigo d’Arsouilles consistently passed on his great heart, exceptional scope, and intelligent mind.
