In Utero foal due in April 2012. Colt Option. By Rubignon (Rubinstein/Donnerhall/Pik Solo) out of a Premium Oldenburg Weltmeyer mare. This foal will have the oldest time-honored proven champion bloodlines with the foundation stallions of modern dressage breeding at the forefront of its pedigree: Weltmeyer, Rubinstein and Donnerhall. Should be an amazing black foal with very nice free moving gaits and correct conformation.

The foal's dam, When Worlds Unite, is a black Premium Oldenburg NA mare with an impressive 106 points. As a foal, Unity earned a top score of 8.5! She has also been shown in-hand in USDF shows and has been Champion and Reserve Champion Mare. She has produced Premium, Champion and Stallion prospect foals. Unity is a direct daughter of the highly influential sire, Weltmeyer. Weltmeyer has exceptional dressage ability with movements that have cadence, suspension and elevation, and he even jumps well. He has a long list of accomplishments. 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. 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. Weltmeyer sadly passed away at age 27 due to colic complications on June 28, 2011. We are fortunate to have Unity, a direct daughter of this legendary stallion and she will continue to carry on his legacy through her incredible offspring. Unity’s damsire has a strong TB influence with lineage leading back to Native Dancer.

The foal’s sire, Rubignon (Rubinstein/Donnerhall/Pik Solo), is a beautiful black 16.2h Oldenburg stallion. Rubignon represents 3 generations of the most valuable dressage bloodlines through the Grand Prix stallions: Rubinstein, Donnerhall, and Pik Solo. He was listed for the Swedish Dressage team in 2008 and 2009, and has 17 Grand Prix wins and placings including international wins in his name. He is approved with multiple registries and was tested in Sweden with 9’s for his special jumping talent as well.
It is noted that Rubignon's best feature is his incredible mind and rideability. He was the most popular breeding stallion for SWANA both in 2002 and 2003. He bred the following years in Germany and Sweden where he also had a successful Grand Prix career. Rubignon offers a well rounded dressage pedigree, with proven performance generation after generation. He stamps his offspring with elegant uphill toplines, modern type with long legs, and excellent light springy movement with good lift in front and well carried from behind.
