I was wondering if anyone can comment on whether Dante Weltino would be a good cross on my mare Fortuna. I am also open to other stallion suggestions. I prefer frozen semen from Europe or fresh semen from within Canada as I prefer not to deal with the hassle of importing semen from the US. Also, stallion must be Oldenburg, Hanoverian or KWPN approved.
This is her pedigree

and a conformation picture of her as a 3 year old (she is 6 now)

There’s not a whole lot I’d change about this mare. She’s got 3 good gaits, very pretty feminine type, correct legs/feet and a temperament to die for. If I was going to pick on something, I would say that her croup is too flat and she could use better muscling over topline. Mostly, I would like to just add a more expressive front leg. This foal would most likely be a keeper for me to ride. I am breeding for an upper level dressage horse and I don’t particularly care about flashy foals or young horse classes. Dante Weltino appeals to me as the foals I’ve seen seem to have an expressive front leg (as well a good engine). My concern is that he is line bred to Weltmeyer and my mare also has Weltmeyer on the dam side. Is 3 crosses to Weltmeyer going to be a problem?
