Laurino

An extremely valuable Lauries Crusador xx son

A half-Thoroughbred stallion with a large frame, significant points, strong moving and especially rideable. Laurino took his performance test in Vilhelmsborg, Denmark, where he received extremely high scores in dressage, his special discipline. In competition sport he has won classes up to Intermédiaire I and has been trained to Grand Prix. In Denmark he is already a highly profiled sire and has produced premium foals for many years that win championships and bring the highest prices at auctions. His eldest offspring are under saddle and compete successfully in basic tests for youngsters. Several of his daughters have received premiums.

With offspring such as Heslegards Louis/Gerda Lehmann/Greece, who participated in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, the World Cup finalist Lesotho/Ellen Schulten-Baumer, Le Bo/Carola Koppelmann who placed fifth in the German Championships and the WC participant Le Primeur/Line Wettstein/Switzerland, his sire Lauries Crusador xx is one of the most important dressage-makers in Germany. More than 40 of his sons were licensed. He was awarded the Hanoverian Stallion of the Year title in 2006, an honor never bestowed on a Thoroughbred before. The dam's sire Weltmeyer was Bundeschampion, won his licensing and stallion performance test and was a DLG-Champion. He wrote history in breeding right at the very beginning of his career as a sire. He sired several licensing winners, Bundeschampions and stallion performance test winners. Sherlock Holmes, found in the third generation, impressively represented his breeding area at the 1992 Bundeschampionat for German riding horses.
