Weltmeyer,
what a name, what a horse, what a sire. From the moment Herman Meyer
presented this stallion at the 1986 Stallion Approval in Verden, the
judges and other breeders were dazzled by his performance. His name, "ruler
of the world", his victory at the stallion approval and later
at the national championships and DLG- representation was a prophecy
which he successfully fulfilled. He sired 51 approved stallions for
the Hanoverian association, he produced champions in the stallion performance
tests and bundeschampionships.
His daughters also belong to the class of top quality mares; 150 mares
became State Premium Mare and in mares tests a large collection of his
fillies can be found in the top five. With a dressage index of 189 points
Weltmeyer belongs to the 10 best Dressage Sires in the World. The National
broodmare show of 1998 became a real Weltmeyer festival. Bronze medal
winner in the five year old division of the Bundeschampionships was Weltino
(Weltmeyer x Gelria/T), ridden by Holga Finken who also steered White
Magic to a fourth place in the stallion class.
But also at international level, the first Weltmeyer descendants are
achieving. Ellen Schulten Baumer became European Junior Rider Champion
with the Weltmeyer x Marbod mare Weserperle S and Holga Finken is also
competing Wie Weltmeyer at Grand Prix level.
The chestnut Weltmeyer is by World Cup I, who himself has been 'Stallion
of the Year'.
Besides Weltmeyer, Werther, World Cup I, Argentan, Espri, Don Juan and
Gralsritter are members of this special Hall of Fame.
