Tantoni St.Pr.Wenecia's sire is WHITE MAGIC. This young stallion died in 2000 at the age of eight. In his short career, he was ranked with the other Champion sons of Weltmeyer.
He dominated his Stallion Performance Test at Adelheidsdorf in 1995, with an overall score of 140.69, with 152.19 for rideability and placed 1st of 50. In addition, he placed in three consecutive annual German national Bundeschampionships and was ridden by Holga Finken. Other progeny have done well as auction horses and were also successful at breed shows.
White Magic scored exceptionally well in the revised and integrated German Breed Value data system of the National Federation (FN Breed Values, the so-called integrated breed value estimation) in Dressage for 2001. White Magic was third overall and second for Hanoverians in dressage for this National ranking of all German Dressage Sires. He was first overall in the Suitability component, second overall (to Don Schufro -Oldenburg) and first Hanoverian in the Stallion Performance Test component and third overall (to Wolkentanz and Don Primero) in the Mare Performance Test component. White Magic is proving to be as superb a sire as he was a performer in the Bundeschampionships for many years.
