Highly modern, brilliant type, dynamic movements and a revelation at the jump – this bright youngster met expectations under saddle as well. His talented and cautious jumping technique and first class rideability were obvious already at the Althengstparade in Oldenburg when he was just three years old. He finished his performance test as the best three year old and fifth overall. As the best jumper stallion of the year and second Reserve Champion at the Oldenburg approval in 2005, Ludwig As' career immediately started with a milestone.
