In 2002, the Loerke son Luminous out of Ex Libra by Ex Libris, owned by Cathy Tucker-Slaterbeck, won the Two-Year-Old class at the PVDA Breed Show, and the Two-Year-Old class, the Colt Championship and the Young Horse Reserve Championship at the July Morven Park Breed Show, where he qualified for the Cosequin Finals at Devon that year, where he placed 5th of 12. As a three-year-old, he won his classes at Morven Park and VADA Breed Shows, and was third at PVDA. He is going well under saddle for his adult woman rider.

Greetings Mo: I just wanted to drop you a quick line to share some news about Loerke's gorgeous son, Luminous, whom I purchased from Cathy Tucker Slaterbeck in December 2005 to be a show hunter. Last week during the first week of the HITS-on-the-Hudson seven week series, Luminous, aka Louie, was Champion in the Baby Green Hunter Division in his first over fences show. He is a lovely ride and is being show by well-known hunter rider/trainer, Jenny Fischer of River View Farm in Montgomery, New York. Louie is returning to HITS tomorrow for Weeks II & III before heading off to Lake Placid at the end of June to debut in the Pre-Green Hunter Division. He is declared by all who see him to be a glorious mover and is guaranteed the 1st place ribbon in the Hack. I feel so lucky to have this outstanding son of Loerke, and look forward to finding a brood mare so that I can breed a couple more of his babies. I will keep you updated and will send photos if I can manage to hold the camera steady and stop the tears of joy from blinding me as he's going around the course like the champ he is. Well, I hope this kind of news helps Loerke gain even more fame as a stallion. Judy A. Merritt Rhinebeck, NY
