Coruba GNZ

Coruba GNZ/ Carly was bred by the Goldengrove Stud in New Zealand then broken in and educated by her current young rider. Carly has progressed beautifully into a well educated and talented young horse - an absolute delight to ride, handle and compete. With her rider attending university and with other young horses coming through, this sale presents a wonderful opportunity for a buyer to purchase a young, sound, sane and rideable horse which will succeed at the top levels of the sport. 

Bloodlines: Carly was undoubtedly bred in the purple - sired by Eurocommerce Pennsylvania (otherwise known as Grand Pilot I). Pennsylvania is a  stallion with a performance history that will outlast this generation! He is proving to be a pre-potent sire of performance horses and breeding stock.  While his intensive competition career left him with limited progeny before arriving in New Zealand - the progeny that he did leave are showing incredible form from 1* to 5* - Amateur through to professional! 

Carly is out of Brie - a mare by Lansing - fully approved and licensed with the Holsteiner Verband, Oldenburg Verband and KWPN. An international Grand Prix showjumper in his own right, winning the German National Showjumping Championships. Lansing was a beautiful grey stallion of very correct type with good movement and extraordinary jumping capacity with the ability to leave these qualities in his offspring. His daughters are particularly sought after and his contribution to New Zealand ShowJumping is nothing short of  phenomenal. Lansing is the sire of many international jumpers including Katie Laurie’s Casbrooke Lomond.
