WELTBEKANNT b. H, HANOVERIAN, 1992
| Color: b Height: 17.0
Weltbekannt was purchased as a two year old in Germany by Suzanne before he was licensed and performance tested. He was foaled in 1992, licensed at Verden in 1994 and 100 days tested at Muenster Handorf in 1995. Weltbekannt is by Weltmeyer, the most sensational stallion and sire to grace the Hanoverian breed in the last decade, and perhaps in the last century. At Weltmeyer’s licensing it was said that he had perfect conformation and movements that seemed to mock any reference to gravity and whose absolute grace and beauty held everyone spellbound. Weltmeyer was licensing champion, performance test champion and DLG champion. Jahrbuch Hengste ’05 lists Weltmeyer in the Top List of stallions siring riding horse qualities with an index of 146 and 4th in the Top List of stallions siring dressage qualities with an index of 162. Weltbekannt has been an extraordinary dressage competitor. In 1998 he was 2nd in the USDF Horse of the Year awards at Second Level and awarded Champion Hanoverian Second Level Horse. He was USDF’s Third Level Horse of the Year in 1999, and was also awarded Champion Hanoverian at Third Level. He continued his great successes with Fred Weber in 2000, by winning ten Fourth Level Tests and being awarded Champion Hanoverian Fourth Level Horse, and in 2001 by again being awarded Champion Hanoverian at Prix St. George. In early 2004, he began showing Intermediare II, with a median score of 67.075%, which put him second nationally for Horse of the Year and first for Hanoverians. By the end of the year he was successfully competing in Grand Prix.
