Caretino-dochter drachtig van For Pleasure!

As a youngster, Caretano Z, Corina Z’s sire, didn’t miss his début in the showjumping world! In 1998 he finished fifth in the World Championship for six-year-old showjumpers in Zangersheide in partnership with Jos Lansink. One year later he was laurelled in Zangersheide as the seven-year-old showjumping world champion. In 2000 he collected many victories and honourable placings during international showjumping competitions. In 2001 he participated at the World Cup final in Göteborg, once again in partnership with his rider Jos Lansink. In the same year, however, the promising Caretano Z suffered a fatal inguinal hernia. Via his dam, Bravo, Caretano Z belongs to the valuable Holstein performance family 104a. Bravo is also the dam of the famous progenitor Contendro and his full brother Contendro II.

Corina Z’s dam is called Ria. She is a daughter of Latano, a son of Landgraf I that performed at international level. In combination with Phin Phin, Ria’s dam, Jezabel, produced international performer Avenir. Partnered with Abdel Saïd, Avenir caused a furore in the showjumping world, including victories in Wiesbaden (2010, 4*, 1m50), Antwerp (2010, 4*, 1m50), second in the Antwerp Grand Prix (2010, 4*, 1m55), fifth in the London Olympia Grand Prix (2009, 5*, 1m60), 12th in the Mechelen Grand Prix (2009, 5*, 1m50), etc. Later, Christine Tribble McCrea wrote the sequel to Avenir’s international success story, including several top 10 rankings in World Cup classes. In the dam line of Corina Z we meet more international showjumpers, such as Hartwich-K (sporting name: Scallywag, Erich Krügl), V Nancy B (John Gunvar Knutsen and Fredrik B. Seim), Quilina v’t Plutoniahof, Wilina de Muze (Stephan Calonge) and Imagine de Muze (sporting name: Townhead Imagine de Muze, Emma Stoker).

In 2004 the three-year-old Corina Z was sold on the occasion of the auction in Mechelen. She was subsequently used as a breeding dam. In 2006 she gave birth to Grand Corona d’Heyboght (by Montender). In 2011 Grand Corona d’Heyboght participated at the final of the World Championship for five-year-old showjumping horses in partnership with Yves Vanderhasselt.
