Do you think his offspring make good leisure horses, or do you think they are more suited to be comeptition horses?

I wouldn't like to say, I have only had dealings with Luidam & his offspring when he was still with John. I would probably say it depends on what the mare was that went to him? Though effectively it should not really matter it is all to do with how they are brought up but a sharp mare put to Luidam could end up with a sharp offspring!!

My mare is rather sharp, but Herbie is the most chilled youngster and very trainable as well as being the kind of horse you can ride every day or leave for a week then just get on with no problems, so it goes to show!
there are so many nice horses by guidam or a son of guidam (ie Luidam) now. i have yet to see a bad one on the showjumping circuit. his semen is very expensive though.
