On the occasion of the presentation of privately owned stallions in Verden, the Hanoverian society honoured the best young stallions that completed their 2012 stallion performance tests with outstanding results at the age of three last year.
The awards were named after the trademark stallions Weltmeyer (dressage) and Stakkato (show jumping). The Weltmeyer prize was given to the Dancier x Wolkenstein II-son Dancing World. Statinus (by Stakkato x All in One) and Viscount (by Valentino x Acorado) won the Stakkato prize.
Dancing World completed his stallion performance test in Schlieckau with a dressage breeding value of 147 points. He is bred by Horst Wesch, Bad Bederkesa. Owner Herbert Kruse from Hamburg discovered the colt at the rearer. Dancing World was licensed in Verden in April 2012. He finished third at the Hanoverian Riding Horse Championships under Sandra Frieling and participated at the Bundeschampionate in Warendorf before he completed his 70-day performance test in Schlieckau.
The brown stallion is the latest flagship out of the dam line of Ontoria. Dieta, the DLG Champion Mare, is his direct ancestor.
