Dante Weltino is going to the Rio Olympics under the Swedish flag with rider Therese Nilshagen. We can’t wait to see this stallion perform on the highest world stage.
Dante Weltino's himself is not only a top performance stallion but his first progeny produced a good number of top foals. His son Dante Ferro won the Lodbergen Championships and was knocked down at the Vechta Foal Auction for 29,000 Euros. Another son, Damenball, brought 20,000 Euros. Dante Weltino was the 1st Oldenburg Reserve Champion in 2009, took his 30-day test in 2010 in Schlieckau which he passed with very high scores and in 2011 he placed among the best in tests for young dressage horses.
His sire, Danone I, wins ribbons up to Inter I. Four of his sons were licensed, including the second most expensive premium stallion of the Hanoverian licensing who sold for 320,000 Euros and the stallion performance test winner, Dankeschön.
The dam's sire, Welt Hit II, was listed 2011 among the top ten in the WBFSH's list of the world's best dressage stallions. Dante Weltino does not have a red factor and is therefore homozygous (EE) and passes on only dark coats (no chestnuts).
