Wiesentanz

Wiesentanz (aka Dancer) is a 1998 16.2 liver chestnut Hanoverian mare who was imported from Germany as a young horse. Her name means “Meadow Dance”, and she does literally dance across the meadows! When we saw her move the first time, Sarah and I knew that I had to have her! Her trot takes your breath away; it is incredibly ground-covering with spectacular suspension. Dancer has been busy having babies and has never been under saddle and therefore has not been performance tested. Her quality is evident in her movement, her pedigree, and in her progeny. Her filly, Rosentanz, is a nationally ranked two year old and the highest scoring German Oldenburg for 2006 in Dressage Sport Horse Breeding.

Her four generation pedigree is notable in that eleven of the fifteen mares achieved States Premium Status! Her sire Wolkentanz I, by the legendary Weltmeyer, ranks highly on the Hanoverian FN index for dressage. Bolero on her dam’s side gives an infusion of Thoroughbred blood for added refinement. Her offspring inherit her lofty gaits, her beautiful neck, and have good temperaments. Her 2007 colt by Rubino Bellisimo was named top foal of the Hanoverian Inspection.
