Henton World Class
Henton World Class is a 2014 NZ Hanoverian mare whose pedigree blends two of the Hanoverian breed’s most influential and reliable performance lines. She is sired by Worldly, a stallion celebrated for producing rideable, correct, and expressive horses. Worldly himself is by Weltmeyer, one of the most powerful shaping sires in modern dressage breeding—known for passing on elasticity, brilliance, strong toplines, and exceptional trainability. On the dam side of Worldly sits Brentano II, another cornerstone Hanoverian stallion renowned for refinement, correctness, and a clear record of transmitting excellent rideability and work ethic. Together, these lines have produced numerous licensed stallions, FEI horses, and top broodmares worldwide.
Her dam, Henton Elite (Escudo I), is one of Henton Lodge’s leading broodmares, consistently stamping her offspring with athleticism, good minds, and versatility. Her family includes multiple proven sporthorses:
• Henton Attorney General (“Frank Henton”), who moved to the UK with Lizzie Brown and went on to achieve recognised dressage success, including wins at Brightling Park and Blair Castle CCI2*.
• Henton Executive, a successful eventer and winner of the Cato Packaging CCI2*.
• Henton Ambassador, a high-quality eventer under Matthew Grayling, including 2nd in the Taupo CCI2-L and consistent strong performances across all phases.
• As granddam, Henton Elite also produced Henton For Glory, winner of the Treadlite NZ 4* class.
With the proven Weltmeyer–Brentano II influence on top and a dam line that repeatedly produces competitive, intelligent, and versatile sporthorses, Henton World Class stands as a mare of genuine breeding value. She embodies the strengths of her pedigree—rideability, athleticism, quality movement, and a family history of success—making her an asset to any sporthorse breeding programme focused on reliable, high-performing Hanoverian lines
