1512 Lot24 - Southern Cross Corona
December 2015 auction
Chestnut gelding 11/12/12 mature 16.1 hh
On account of Southern Cross Warmbloods
Southern Cross Corona is an impressive 16.1hh gelding with the looks of a superstar. He is the result of over 30 years of dedicated and specialised warmblood breeding. He has a naturally correct walk, a slow but very powerful trot and his canter is balanced and uphill in front. He has a very sweet, calm nature and is showing a high calibre of trainability and rideability. He has recently been broken in (photo at two weeks) and the breaker could not speak highly enough of him. His pedigree features some of the most influential stallions in Australia: Domherr, (sire of Kibah Tic Toc & Dom Eden), Ludendorf (imported super sire) Valuta (Gert Dorvig’s imported stallion) and Salute (imp) and Daktylus. Corona’s sire Southern Cross Dorado has only had a limited number of mares but has sired Grand Prix dressage horses like Southern Cross Aquilla and two-star eventers like Southern Cross Nashira. He sired Wimborne Supermodel (Justine Donohue), which as a foal placed very highly in ACE assessment. Corona’s grand-dam, Southern Cross Caterina, competed successfully at FEI dressage and among progeny from Corona’s dam (Southern Cross Carina) is Southern Cross Nova, an exciting 2* eventer (now qualified 3*) described by Heath Ryan as having “… unbelievable jumping ability… her future in eventing is unlimited”. Another sibling of Corona’s is Southern Cross Altair, sold sight unseen to WA where this wonderful, athletic gelding is becoming very successful in dressage and is beginning his eventing career.
