Our classic beauty, Miss Miller, did a fabulous job as a
first time mom. She was about 9 days overdue but
blessed us with a text-book delivery and her colt was up
and nursing very quickly. We couldn't be happier
with this fancy, chestnut colt with his beautiful,
crooked blaze ... we're anxious to
watch him grow. We are extremely pleased with his
uphill structure, excellent shoulder and nice hip,
long and well set neck, lovely dished face, and straight
legs.
Sired by the legendary Hanoverian
Sire, Weltmeyer, who was the 1986 winner of the stallion
licensing in Verden, and the 1987 winner of the stallion
performance test in Adelheidsdorf. In the same year
Weltmeyer also won the three-year-old stallions
classification at the Federal Championships of German
Riding Horses in Warendorf. In 1988 he was honored in
Verden as best stallion of his age-group and awarded
with the "Freiherr von Stenglin-Prize". One year later
he became DLG Champion 1989 in Frankfurt. And last but
not least he became "Hanoverian Stallion of the Year" in
1998. As of today, Weltmeyer has produced 70 licensed
sons, all of them are excellent stallions. A study of
the pedigrees of many internationally prominent
Hanoverian dressage horses reveals that many are either
by sons of Weltmeyer or out of one of his daughters. At
the 2002 Ratje Niebuhr-Show, Weltmeyer was the leading
sire. Out of 51 mares which placed first through third
in 17 classes, Weltmeyer sired eight, including champion
SPS Wiami and and reserve champion Wicke. Overall, his
blood was present in one third of all the mares, by from
25% to 50% percent. When it comes to capacity for
dressage and the temperament necessary for a top
competitor, this stallion simply cannot be beaten. In
2005, Weltmeyer received a Breeding Value Index of 152
points, with an assurance of 99% heritability, from the
German Equestrian Federation.
