Milky Way was purchased in 2017 through the licensing hosted by Ponyforum in Germany. He stood out for us not only due to his exceptional movement and jump but also his character in a crazy and hectic environment. He stands just 14hh and crosses well on a variety of mares. He seems to bless his foals with exceptional temperaments and strong, elegant toplines combined with big, elastic movement. His first foal crop was born in 2018 both in Germany and North America. 90%+ of his foals were Premium at their inspections and several of his foals in Germany qualified for the Lienen foal championships. 

He had a very successful 2019 show season with nearly an entire season of first place ribbons with scores over 70 in most of his tests. He competed in his first FEI 5yo test winning it with over 74%. Sadly there was no show season in 2020 due to COVID restrictions but in 2021, Emmanuelle Lord and Milky Way completed his approval requirements and more. He competed at 3rd level with scores over 68%. In 2022 he competed with a 13yo Jr rider for the first time, achieving scores as high as 70% at training level. Milky shows a lot of talent for the upper level work, especially piaffe/passage. He is continuing to school towards the upper levels with Emma while looking forward to show season.

Milky Way produces a high number of premium foals from a wide variety of mares. He crosses very well with WB mares, Welsh mares, TB mares and Connemara mares to name a few. He was the sire of top 5 GRP and KDR foals in the Westfalen NA registry nearly every year since he has been available in NA. His offspring are well rounded, suitable for dressage as well as the hunter/jumper  rings.
