We just got word that Raven's sire, Ludse 305 has passed away. The posted picture was taken after Ludse was exported back to the Netherlands. He was a magnificent example of a Friesian Stallion. He sired MANY beautiful foals, one of which Adel 357 was performing at Prix St. George Level at age 17. Ludse 305 was only loaned to the United States for breeding but when his foals started competing and WINNING he was exported back to the Netherlands where he continued to stand at stud. We sympathize with his owners and are sure they will miss having such a magnificent wonderful stallion to care for. We are very grateful for his son, RAVEN.
I posted the paragraph below taken from the 2005 stallion show.
The 2005 show was special in that Adel 357 put on an amazing dressage demonstration, and was part of a Carousel show. It was so impressive to watch!!!
Adel 357's sire is Ludse 305. The today's Friesian is bred for dressage talent, and Ludse 305 delivers just that, which is why he was brought back to the Netherlands in 2002 (due to the outstanding success of his offspring in dressage)! Adel 357 is one of the only Friesian stallions competing at the Prix St Georges level.
Remember this was posted in 2005 I'm sure with the success of many more Friesians in dressage there are more competing at this level now.
