Leopold continues his winning ways with a new rider and a new name.

He has been sold to Crystal Kroech of western Canada. She has renamed him Lymrix.  

As a four year old Leopold won the USA Final for FEI Young Horses at Devon with a remarkable 9 for canter. In 2006 Leopold competed at Second Level with many High Point Scores over 70% and he finished at second place in the National USA rankings for Second Level. Leopold placed seventh in the FEI 5 Year Old class at Lexington, Kentucky 2006 and won the "home bred" FEI 5 Year Old.

In 2007 Leopold Q won three High Point Scores for Fourth Level with scores over 70% and is clearly a horse with an international future.

September 2005 - A special series of FEI Young Horse classes took place at the 2005 Dressage at Devon. The North American Breeders Futurity sponsored these FEI 4-year old, 5-year old and 6-year old classes and had a huge purse of prize money to offer for its winners and competitors. Thess NABF classes were only open to North American born dressage horses. Winning the four-year old division were Jules Anderson and Leopold by Loerke who received a 79.000% score from the judges' panel. The Hungarian judge Barnabas Mandi praised the four-year old Hanoverian gelding for his quality basic gaits. "All three gaits are very nice and active," Mandi said. As of November 2005 Leopold changed ownership to Libby and Jules Anderson. Leo was purchased as a 3 year old from Suzanne Quarles at Some Day Soon Farm for a Jilba client Cindy Hutter. Leo was trained for 6 months at Jilba Dressage ridden by Libby and Cindy and then for 3 months at Teamwork Dressage ridden by Jules Anderson. Leo is now in training at Jules barn Teamwork Dressage in Alferetta, GA. This talented Hanovarian gelding now 5 years old shows great promise for dressage. At Devon in the FEI 4 year old Championships Leo won both classes for the 4 year olds and gained a 9 for his canter. His overall score came to 82+% We look forward to following Leo's progress as he continues in the show ring in 2006 at second level and in the FEI 5 year old classes.
