Dark Brown, 16.2hh, 1985. Approved Elite AES Stallion.

LAURISTON was the winner of the German 6year old jumping Championships in ’92 with the record score of 9.7 for style and scope. Bred by Paul Schockemohle.
He was purchased by the Bolvorm Stables, Holland, for 2 million DM IN 1992.Under the name of Bolvorm’s Lauriston he continued his National and International career ridden by Jos Lansink and Ben Schroder, winning in Modena and Waterloo.

Lauriston sired 10 International horses from his first Dutch crop of foals. Amongst these Catapult (Billy Twomey and Michael Whitaker) and Promise Me the new Grand Prix horse of Ian Miller (Can). Peter Wilde won the Dutch Jumping Derby at Valkenswaard on Lauriston jr. Rob Ehrens rode the mare Silanda successfully at International level under the name Annabel, her 7 year old daughter Oceline is now with Jeroen Dubbeldam. Both Promise Me (Toronto) and Lauriston jr (Verona) have won World Cup points during last Autumn and were in the prizes at Calgary. An amazing feat for any stallion to produce 2 World Cup horses in one year, even more so as Lauriston only had a fraction of the mares his contempories have covered. Lausana and Liberty Life 2 were born in Germany prior to the export of Lauriston and are jumping for Spain and Germany. Lausanna is also jumping World Cups and was reserve during the World Eq Games in Jerez for the Spanish Team. Laceful Z competed at the 2003 European Championships with Miranda de Neto. Lassandro and Nairobi are the latest additions to Lauriston’s international offspring. . Geoff Billington really rates his Largus as an international prospect. Jan Tops bought Nijhofs Maxim just before her accident.

The Zangersheide stallion Quick Lauro Z is out of a daughter of Lauriston, so are Drossage (Drossan x Lauriston), Highness (Royal Bravour x Lauriston), Oceline (Celano x Lauriston).

His German and Dutch breeding reports are also very positive. He has and index of 149 on the German ’96 rankings (100 is the average) and passes on very good conformation and temperaments with athletic and elevated powerful movement.

Not only does he throw show jumpers of the highest possible quality, he has also produced very exciting event and dressage prospects. James won The British Novice Eventing Championship at Gatcombe 2003 and Olympic Dressage rider Kirsty Mepham has high hopes of her latest Grand Prix ride Flyaway Mathere.

Lauriston is fully graded in Oldenburg and the Hannovarian Verband in Germany and the UK, KWPN Holland , Bayern Germany, Selle Francais in France and the AES and IHR in Ireland.

His sire is Latus I, ½ brother to Capitol I and II and full brother to Latus II. Latus I died as an eight year old when on lease to Zangersheide Stud. He did jump at 1.50 mtr. level before his untimely death.

Lauriston’s dam Gerlinde is by the international jumper Granit (by Goldfalk) and out of the famous international mare Andorra.( by Agram) She was unbeatable during her career ridden by Manfred Kloes.

Gerlinde also produced Nariston and Fundus, both approved in Oldenburg. Other well known stallions from this family are: Feinbrand, Dinar, Landfurst and Sadenio.The last two both out of Lauriston’s half sister Gardenia.

Also the Hamburg Derby Winner, Wendy, descends from this mare-line.

Lauriston bred 2 approved stallions so far: Nairobi, sold to the USA, and Agrovorm’s Paddington who is at present with Jos Lansink.

During the International Stallion Show at Zwolle in Holland Lauriston was presented with the honary titles of ‘Elite Performance Stallion’

AT LAST THERE IS NOW A PROVEN, TRULY WORLD CLASS SIRE STANDING IN BRITAIN!!!
