Weltmeyer is considered to be one of the All Time Great Hanoverian sires. As the AHS put it, "Weltmeyer continues to almost single-handedly reshape the Hanoverian breed."  With a dressage index of 152 points Weltmeyer belongs to the 10 best Dressage Sires in the World.  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. 
With his breathtaking movement and presence, Weltmeyer won his Stallion Performance Test in 1987 placing first in dressage with 143.94 points and third in jumping with 141.44. In 1988 he was honoured in Verden as the best stallion of his age-group and awarded with the "Freiherr von Stenglin-Prize". In 1989, he was Stallion Conformation Champion and DLG Champion and in 1998, he was named "Stallion of the Year".   Weltmeyer is by World Cup I, who himself has been 'Stallion of the Year'.  As a sire, Weltmeyer has proven himself to be a producer of Champions.  To date, he has produced 85 Licensed sons, 416 State Premium mares and countless horses competing in dressage competitions and breed shows too numerous to mention.  These include the Dressage Champions, Warum Nicht (2007 World Cup winner), Weltall VA, Rosemount Wallstreet, and Weltina K to name but a few.  He certainly deserves the title  “Stallion of the Century”.
