United Way is a sire with an impressive ability to stamp his offspring and has firmly established his high-profile status. He seems to have inherited his quality and the ability to pass it on from his dam in particular.
His offspring attract attention at nearly all foal and young stock sites. He passes on in particular his rectangular frame, his athleticism, and his terrific rideability to his offspring. Other excellent qualities distinguishing this sire are his personality, which makes him easy to be around and his positive attitude.
Under the saddle of Lucas Wenz, the stallion has made a name for himself on the sport scene: the combination has chalked up placings up to 1.50m level, for example in the Riesenbeck grand prix, world ranking classes and the Zangersheide stallion jumping class “Sires of the World”.
Quality jumping and great willingness to perform – these are United Way’s most obvious qualities for anybody watching him. And his offspring are proof that he passes on them with great reliability. He is definitely able to achieve improvement on the basis of the mares he is bred to. Both foals as well as riding horses stand out for their unmistakeable type and movement. A new generation stallion able to stamp his offspring.

Sire
His sire Uriko was successfully shown to S*** level and is quite the high-profile sire. A great number of licensed sons, including champion and reserve champion of the Holsteiner stallion grading, as well as elite show jumping offspring, like for example Uricas v/d Kattevennen, very successfully shown at international 1.60m level by Harrie Smolders (NED), testify to Uriko’s value for the breed.
Damline
United Way’s second dam, Wodka has produced the licensed stallions Arturo and Clearway, as well as Conway I and II. She has eight showjumping offspring with S level results, including United Way’s dam, Carassina by Concerto II. Having already achieved results to S*** level under the saddle of Nisse Lüneburg, Carassina was sold to Udo Chistee (Schlosshotel Wendorf) in 2008, with the ride given to Thomas Kleis. The successful combination not only collected numerous international results, but also won the Hamburg German Jumping Derby in 2009.
United Way’s bloodline deserves special attention for his dam sire, Concerto II. This Contender son who died from colic at just five-year-old produced a rare count of successful showjumping offspring. With only a few daughters put to stud, these are considered exceptional gems. Upon retiring from competition, Carassina was put to stud again. Four-year-old, she had already produced one offspring (by Cardino) which went on to become a successful sport horse in Australia. United Way, born in 2015, is Carassina’s first post-career produce.
Own Performance of United Way
United Way underwent 14-day ability assessment at Neustadt upon Dosse with impressive results in April 2018. He was given 9.5 on willingness to perform and 9.25 on temperament, and also very good marks – 9.0 - on jumping ability (free jumping) and character. The jumping weighted total mark 8.65 was among the top marks achieved in this test.
United Way completed sport testing with excellent results. He received 9.3 on ability, 9.0 on overall impression and 8.8 on rideability.
The stallion had his first outings in competition with Ebba Johansson (SWE); among other results, they placed second in the qualifier to the State four-year-old jumping horse Championship with an 8.2 score. While United Way was side-lined by injury at five-year-old, at six-
year-old, he took home wins and high placings in young horse jumping classes at M level scoring up to 9.2. Since late 2023, having undergone careful further training, the stallion has been attracting attention with impressive rounds under Lucas Wenz. Since summer 2024, he has chalked up an impressive list of results, with placings for example in the Hörup and Riesenbeck grands prix. The 2025 showing season, with numerous international results, for example at the Lanaken Sires of the World show jumping class, once again has everyone looking forward to the upcoming 2026 season…

Offspring of United Way
United Way had several championship foals in his first crops, including the winning colt of Pinneberg breeding district, by United Way-Casall in 2020. In 2022, the United Way-Colman filly Paisley (Klaus Thiedemann, Oesterwurth), the highest-priced lot of the Holsteiner elite foal auction, was knocked down at 25,000 euros to France. United Way foals are sought-after by international buyers. He had the most expensive foal at the Holsteiner Horse Days auction (14,000 euros) and two other offspring, sold through the elite foal auction for 18,000 euros and at the Hörup Springflut Festival for 15,500 euros, respectively, realized good prices.
And his offspring live up to expectations as riding horses, as well. Maybe M saw a lot of interest at the Holsteiner elite riding horse auction, where Italian clients thrilled about the United Way - Diarado daughter’s exceptional quality invested 72,000 euros in the mare.
Union City by United Way (out of a Connor dam) was named first reserve champion stallion of the Holsteiner grading held in February 2023, and is available through the Holsteiner Verband stallion keeping GmbH. In December 2023, another United Way son attracted attention at the Elmshorn grading: United Pleasure (out of a For Pleasure dam) had the panel convinced and has been awarded the sought-after premium title. At the 2024 grading of the Holsteiner colts, United Way was the most frequent sire with five stallion hopefuls presented.
