“Foundation stallion”
Patent black, a generous and modern dressage build, impressive paces and talent for collection. That describes Dante Weltino OLD in a nutshell. It is not without reason that the career of this powerful dressage stallion is a concatenation of highlights.
Sports results
Dante Weltino OLD was a member of the Swedish Championship team with his trainer Therese Nilshagen from 2016 to 2024 without interruption, winning European Championship team bronze twice during this time and reaching the final at a total of two Olympic Games, two World Championships and four European Championships. He finished in the top ten 14 times.
He was retired from the sport in 2025 at the age of 18 and is now fully available for breeding again.
Dante Weltino OLD started his career as 1st Oldenburg Reserve Champion, won dressage horse and dressage tests in series and took tenth and fifth place in the finals of the Burg Cup and the Louisdor Prize.
In 2016, Dante Weltino OLD was honored as a VTV dressage stallion and in 2025 as an elite stallion.
Progenitor qualities
This stallion, who does not produce chestnuts and who in addition to his remarkable qualities also frequently passes on his beautiful dark colour, can make a difference to current dressage breeding. Dante Weltino is approved by all the important German studbooks, his foals are much sought after and his offspring include German champions, premium stallions, performance test winners and auction stars.
Potential foundation stallion thanks to top genes!
As befits a potential foundation stallion, all of this that Dante Weltino has, is not down to coincidence. His sire Danone I competed at Grand Prix-level with Therese Wahler. As a direct son of the legendary De Niro, he is one of the remarkable stallions out of the strong German D-line. Via Danone’s strongly-producing dam Well Done, the valuable Weltmeyer bloodline is introduced. In Dante Weltino this is actually the case twice in the third generation. Via his dam Rihanna, a daughter of Welt Hit I, we indeed find Weltmeyer again. Dante Weltino’s dam is also a full-sister of Riwera de Hus. This mare took part in the 2012 Olympic Games with French rider Jessica Michel Botton and is one of the most well-known offspring of the strong progenitor Welt Hit II, a KWPN Keur stallion. Finally, Dante Weltino’s granddam, the warmblood mare Riconess (s. Noble Roi xx) also produced Lumos. This Lordanos-son was Bundeschampion as a six-year-old and later jumped at 1.60m-level.
