Ludwig Von Bayern

Breeding

Ludwig von Bayern's pedigree has been perfectly trimmed for performance through the top sire Landor S as well as the top Westphalian sires Pilot and Damokles. His dam is a full sister of the Bavarian private stallion Lanacar. This line also produced the stallion Donadoni, Iroko (NL), Pinoccio, Graf Aramis and the internationally successful show jumper, Aramis (Franke Sloothaak).

Performance

Ludwig von Bayern is an imposing, highly expressive athlete with dynamic movements and a quality at the jump seldom seen: A major sire of international format is in the making! Decorated with the I-c main premium in 2004, Ludwig von Bayern won the international Stallion Show Jumping competition in Denekamp in 2006 and qualified for the Bundeschampionat when he was five as well as when he was six after winning numerous tests for young jumpers. At his 30-day test as well, this large framed, powerful stallion received the highest score of 10.0 for rideability and 9.5 for jumping. But he can also perform flying changes every two strides and pirouettes just as well.

Progeny

His son Ludwigs As, a multiple winner in tests for young jumpers in elementary (L) level, was awarded the main premium in Vechta. His daughter Luca advanced through the ranks at the Elite Broodmare Show to become the Reserve Champion Mare of Springpferdezuchtverband Oldenburg-International (OS). Even after his sensational second crop which culminated in the OS Champion Stallion in 2006, Ludwig von Bayern repeatedly proves his exceptional status as a sire. Another son was licensed at the Deutsche Sportpferd licensing in Prussendorf and yet another at the late Oldenburg licensing.
