Three young stallions awarded Weltmeyer prize
Verden. For the tenth time, the Hannoveraner Verband has awarded the best young stallions after their successfully passed performance test. The breeders of three dressage stallions can be happy about the Weltmeyer-Prize. The award ceremony in front of a large audience will take place at a later date.
Dancier Gold by Dancier/Weltmeyer (breeder: Georg Strübing, Vienenburg, owner: Gestüt Sprehe, Benstrup) had his focus set on the World Championships for young dressage horses. The grandson of the name giver of this valuable award was successful at the Hannoveraner Championships as well as at the Bundeschampionat and convinced in both parts of the sport test (final scores 8.73 and 9.24). With rider Simone Alexandra Pearce, the black was nominated for the big championship in Verden last December, which could not take place due to covid-19.
A true model student is Escamillo by Escolar/Rohdiamant (breeder: Dr. Carolin Langhorst, Ratingen, owner: Kimberly Davies-Sious, USA). The bay stallion, bred in the Rhineland, already left the Verden licensing as a premium stallion and completed part II of his sport test in Verden in 2020 with a bravura final score of 9.36. He celebrated victories in dressage tests for young horses with Germany’s Helen Langehanenberg in the summer.
Shu Fu by Sezuan/Fürst Heinrich (breeder: Gestüt Greim, Bärnau, owner: State Stud Celle) was born and raised in Bavaria. Due to injury he could not travel to the licensing in Verden. At the licensing in Munich-Riem, State Stud Manager Dr. Axel Brockmann discovered the athletic chestnut. He sent him to the 50-day test in Schlieckau in November, where Shu Fu topped the test with dream scores (final score 8.84).
