Mr Friedrich Wilhelm Luetkemeier has bred, selected, bought and sold outstanding German Showjumping horses for over 30 years.
He started his equine career as a young boy and showed up with great talent as a rider in the jumping ring. As he was born in the region of Germany where famous "Pilot" was born, he got knowledge about the secrets of sport horse breeding and felt that he should start a breeding program. After finishing school, he first studied business administration at the university of Paderborn. During his university years, he successfully showed young jumpers up to the level of the German Young Horse Championships. He also won a national Grand Prix and was part of a German Nations Cup Team.
