For details on his breeding see the entry for Wolkentanz I.
Wolkentanz II was fourth in the 3 year old stallion class at the Bundeschampionate in 1998. He was the reserve champion of his performance test, and competed Prix St Georges. Wolkentanz II was the first stallion for German trainer / rider / breeder, Johannes Westendarp:
“My career with riding and working with the stallions started with Wolkentanz II. I bought him as a foal, three days old. I took him to the licensing, then we did the whole young horse program, the Bundeschampionate and rode him at the World Young Horse championship. Then we started the small tour, as a seven year old he won seven Prix St Georges with scores of over 70%. He had a lot of energy, and I think he could have gone on to Grand Prix but he injured himself, that was a shame. Now we have some mares from him that we are breeding with and they are very good.”
