FRENCHMAN II

In his Licensing Frenchman II received wonderful scores of 9.0.

He has won riding horse classes with scores of 8.1 and higher.

His 3 basic paces are of the highest quality and show great impulsion and balance.

It is expected that this young stallion will have a very successful competition and breeding career.

The Sire Falkland is shaped by two successful bloodlines: his sire Wanderer is an "allround" producer who passes on to his progeny jumping ability as well as talent for dressage. The sire of Falkland's dam Pik König is renowned for producing excellent dressage horses. Falkland himself is also a versatile producer. He passes on to his offspring jumping ability as well as his very energetic movements. His progeny also stands out for excellent rideability. In 1999 his son Frenchman came second at the stallion performance test in Adelsheidsdorf.

The Sire Weltmeyer is a legend. As the AHS put it, "Weltmeyer continues to almost single-handedly reshape the Hanoverian breed." He was the 1986 winner of the stallion licensing in Verden, and the 1987 winner of the stallion performance test in Adelheidsdorf. In the same year Weltmeyer also won the three-year-old stallions classification at the Federal Championships of German Riding Horses in Warendorf. In 1988 he was honored in Verden as best stallion of his age-group and awarded with the "Freiherr von Stenglin-Prize". One year later he became DLG Champion 1989 in Frankfurt. And last but not least he became "Hanoverian Stallion of the Year" in 1998. As of today, Weltmeyer has produced 70 licensed sons, all of them are excellent stallions.

A study of the pedigrees of many internationally prominent Hanoverian dressage horses reveals that many are either by sons of Weltmeyer or out of one of his daughters. At the 2002 Ratje Niebuhr-Show, Weltmeyer was the leding sire. Out of 51 mares which placed first through third in 17 classes, Weltmeyer sired eight, including champion SPS Wiami and and reserve champion Wicke. Overall, his blood was present in one third of all the mares, by from 25% to 50% percent. When it comes to capacity for dressage and the temperament necessary for a top competitor, this stallion simply cannot be beaten. In 2005, Weltmeyer received a Breeding Value Index of 152 points, with an assurance of 99% heritability, from the German Equestrian Federation.
