Origin: The exceedingly handsome thoroughbred Lauries Crusador xx, with his excellent type and appearance, proved his breeding prowess within a relatively short period of time via a large number of approved sons and premiumed daughters. His forte is unequivocally in the procreation of dressage offspring. The dam, state premium mare Gardena absolved her mare performance test and is registered in the FN performance stud book. Her pedigree includes outstanding hereditary transmitters such as Grande, Eisenherz I and Maigraf xx, from the Kehdingen region of the main Hanoverian breeding area.

The grandam Enorme is a full-sister of the approved Exakt (private stallion Bavaria), who is a successful show jumper. Enorme is also the dam of the international three-day eventer Sundance Kid (by Smaragd), who was initially federal cross-country champion with Marina Khncke nee Loheit, and later successfully participated in championship teams for Germany. Waconda (by Word Cup I), a further Enorme daughter, was mated with Forest xx, to produce the approved Forester (private stallion Westphalia). The great great grandam, state premium mare Charge (by Cid-Ast-Detektiv-Jasperding), who is the foundation mare of this dynasty, produced the approved stallion Eichbaum (by Eisenherz I), who had a short interlude as a state stallion in Celle and later became ambassador of the Hanoverian breed in Namibia.

Perfomance record: Laurentianer won the 1997 stallion performance test in Warendorf, obtaining the dream score of 10.0 for willingness to perform. Following wins in dressage horse trials in the elementary and intermediate classes, he became world champion six-year old dressage horse in Arnheim in the year 2000, He was moreover a placed finalist at the 2000 Federal Championship and in 2001, again had a successes in the dressage sport with wins and numerous front placements up to Prix St. Georges. The first international events followed in 2002. Laurentianer collected points with Marlies van Baalen in Amsterdam, Zwolle, Wiesbaden, Balve and Nrten-Hardenberg in both Prix St. Georges and Intermediaire I events.

Breeding record: Laurentianer's first crop produced a top auction foal that fetched a price of DM 26.000 at the Munster-Handorf foal auction and which is now stationed in Britain. Three sons from his first batch of foals received the coveted title of approved at the 2000 approval in Mnster-Handorf. Then in December 2001, six sons were admitted to the NRW approval, of which five were approved, including the winner Laureus, who thereafter occupied a loose box at the Warendorf state stud. Laurentianer presented another son who was approved in 2002, bringing his tally to nine approved sins so far.
