On the damside we have Didansa (imported from Holland) who combine San Remo and Lancet.

One year later in 1994 he won the three-year-old stallions classification at the Federal Championships of German Riding Horses, and was runner-up in the stallion performance test. In 1995 Wolkentanz was honored as the best stallion of his age-group. Wolkentanz's offspring have been turning heads with their fantastic movements, wherever they competed or were inspected. In 2001 Wolkentanz I produced both the champion colt and filly of the German Foal Championships with both scoring perfect 10's on their gaits! Thus, Wolkentanz appears to be Weltmeyer's best producing son so far.
