He is a son of Quidam de Revel (Jalisco B) who acquired world fame in 1992 by his performance in the Barcelona Olympics (ridden by Hervé Godignon, where he won team bronze and Individual forth place) and proved to be a world famous sire.

Great international CSIW-CSIO Winner.
Luidam's showjumping career began in a very good manner with a 7th place at the 5YO World Championships in Lanaken and then at 6 YO when he won the Foxhunter Finals in Wembley in 1999 with John Popeley.
In 2002 he was purchased by Sue Davis (his present owner) where he went on to win over £100,000 Sterling, in his first year as a nine year old, jumping with Billy Twomey. With such International success he was selected for the Athens Olympic Team in 2004. He jumped an impressive double clear in the Aga Khan's Nations Cup in the Dublin Horse Show to win for Ireland in 2004. Pulling a shoe while jumping the combination in the Dublin Grand Prix caused a crack in his hoof wall which unfortunately left him out of that Olympic trip.
With Billy Twomey, Luidam made one of the most successful couple in Europe, representing Ireland many times.
His main wins include : Leading Horse Golden Jubilee Tour 2001. Winner of the Samsung Super League Grand Prix. Luidam's Winnings in list form : 1st Grand Prix La Baule CSIO , 1st Grand Prix Great Leighs, 1st Grand Prix Chester, 1st Grand Prix Ridgewood, 1st Foxhunter Finals at HOYS, 2nd Grand Prix St Gallen, 2nd Grand Prix British Open, 2nd Grand Prix Norden Hardenberg, 2nd Grand Prix Dublin, 2nd Grand Prix Maubeuge, 2nd Grand Prix Ascona, 1st Nations Cup Dublin, 1st Nations Cup Aachen, 1st Nations Cup St. Gallen, Short listed for Olympics Athens 2004, 5th Europeans Championships 2003, 6th World Championships Aachen 2006, etc.

He began breeding in Great Britain in 2000 and in France in 2009.
Luidam's first progeny are making the grade ! John Popley rode Tiger Lilly III into the Finals of the World Breeders Championships at Lanaken. Some other are also going on well, like : L.B.
