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.

"WITH OVER 28 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE"
Ryan R. Pedigo, a native of Southern California, spent his summers on his family’s farm in Oregon. Through his teenage years, Ryan lived on the family farm for 5 years. During that time, Ryan learned key horsemanship skills that would serve as a strong foundation from which to build himself into a true all-around equestrian professional.
After returning to California from the family farm, Ryan entered into business with top hunter trainer and horseman, Ron Kennedy, of Kennedy Farms. The joint business flourished for 19 years, and eventually became Kennedy-Pedigo Farms. Ron Kennedy was very influential in Ryan’s development as a top-equestrian, and professional horseman. Kennedy-Pedigo Farms demonstrated itself as a top “A” hunter training facility.
In 2013 Ryan branched-out on his own and founded three business endeavour's, branching out to support three different aspects of the industry: Pedigo Farms, Ryan Pedigo Hanoverian & Warmblood Sport Horses and Pedigo Farms Riding School. Ryan relocated his business to a 10-acre farm in beautiful Riverside California - where he has successfully expanded all three business endeavour's. The farm is nestled adjacent to hundreds of acres of orange groves of the California Citrus State Historical Park, allowing the farms surroundings a superior calming country feel, perfect for training, breeding and raising sport horses in this ideal environment - with quick access to the city, freeway and airports for our clients and buyers convenience.

Ryan also takes immense pride in his involvement with The American Hanoverian Society (AHS) and works actively with several other Sport Horse Breed Registries. In 2017, the AHS bestowed a great tribute to one of Ryan’s foundation stallions, ES Wellesley PF, who sadly passed away in 2019. Ryan has therefore sponsored a perpetual trophy in honour of Wellesley PF, the “The ES Wellesley Memorial Trophy.” This trophy stands in memory of the late foundation stallion ES Wellesley and will be awarded to the year-end AHS Top Earning Hunter Horse. In honour of this perpetual trophy a dear friend of Ryan’s, renowned artist Ms. Beth Munnings-Winter, of ‘Munnings Original Art’, commissioned a wonderful piece of artwork. A portrait of Ryan jumping ES Wellesley PF now proudly hangs in the AHS office in Lexington, Kentucky. At the Annual AHS Awards Banquet, Ryan proudly presents a plaque to the winner of the ‘Top Performing Hunter Horse’, in memory of this truly remarkable and wonderful stallion.
