In 2002 Benno's Dream was imported to the United States by Nancy Ferebee. Since then Benno's Dream has become a pony who stands above horses. He was the Georgia inspection site Champion for the American Warmblood Registry, and is the only pony to be accepted into both the AWR and the ASPR. He received a score of 8.2, First Premium Premiere, with a 9 on jumping. Comments included: Elegant… lovely suspension and extension, floating trot with ground covering, rolling canter.

A German Grand Prix rider taught Benno's Dream his two tempi changes in one day and a German Grand Prix show jumper commented "...I want him in big. He jumps round like a ball!"
