This horse does not yet have or has too little information from the sport, inspections or talent tests, nor does it have a DNA profile (genotype).
Therefore, no reliable breeding values can be estimated yet. The horse will first have to participate in the above events, or have a DNA profile drawn up.

Lineage: 
Indiana was one of three Colonist sons selected for the performance test and the stallion selection champion. Colonist stood at stud for two years in the Netherlands and is now a popular stallion in America. Wieke V, whose second offspring is Indiana, convinced in both the inspections and the sport: she won the National Mare Inspection championship multiple times and earned 128 points. In her IBOP test, all her scores were at least a 9, with 9.5's for front leg action, hind leg use, and overall picture. Wieke V is by the preferent foundation stallion Manno, a past KWPN Horse of the Year. 
Indiana's granddam Marrith, a daughter of the preferent stallion Renovo, scored all 8.5's in the IBOP and subsequently competed in the sport. The Marrith - Manno combination proved successful, as further evidenced by two additional offspring which earned points, among them Dictus V, the winner of the 2013 Region North competition. Marrith’s son Evert V (s.Stjerreljocht Surprise) was also very successful in the sport. In 2014, he claimed the following victories in Region North: champion under saddle, ladies champion and pairs champion.
