LTS have always been a leader in the Japanese market, for which it has been instrumental in the purchase of many top stallions and broodmares from Europe, USA and Australia.

Since 2017 LTS have been closely involved in the revival of the Thoroughbred enterprise at Erdenheim Farm in Pennsylvania, USA. This beautiful and historic property just outside Philadelphia was previously owned by the Widener family, who raced many famous Thoroughbreds, including ARISTIDES who won the first Kentucky Derby in 1875 and IROQUOIS, the first American-bred to win the Epsom Derby. JAIPUR, winner of the Travers and Belmont Stakes, is one of the famous horses buried on the farm. Erdenheim has been saved from development and completely restored to its former glory since its purchase by the McCausland family and the first foals of mares recently purchased are two year olds of 2022.
