Maleena Von Der Sohr, affectionately known as “Minnie” in the Fostables—a playful nod to Disney’s iconic mouse—has been making waves in the show jumping world. This 7-year-old chestnut Holsteiner mare, born on April 12, 2018, continues to turn heads with her scope, carefulness, and charisma in the ring.
A Strong Pedigree
Minnie is sired by Manchester Van’t Paradijs, a Belgian Warmblood stallion known for his athleticism and rideability, and she carries the Holsteiner brand. Her bloodlines suggest both power and refinement, two qualities she consistently shows on course.
Victory at Scuderia Borgo La Caccia
On March 22, 2025, Minnie clinched the top spot in the 7-year-old class at Scuderia Borgo La Caccia, with Italian rider Giampiero Garofalo, after a solid weekend full of great results.
