EUROCOMMERCE PENNSYLVANIA has brought New Zealand Breeders the refinement, quickness and athleticism necessary for the modern sport horse in competition.
I am proud to announce that I am the official Guinness World Records Title Holder for the highest jump by a horse ridden side saddle.
Back in 2011 I decided to try beat an unofficial record of jumping 6'6ft by a Australian lady after seeing a pic of her jumping. I made my crazy ambition public. I was then a blank canvas, no showjumping horse, no showjumping trainer, only a Dream.
In reflection I thought how hard could this be..., I'll have this achieved in a few months. Well the reality was very different, 2 yrs training, 5 days a week, many horses, many life lessons, over 40 side saddles later. The attempt was scheduled for the 24th Oct 2013, I was at the bottom of the barrel mentally, physically and financially.
In 2012 I contacted the Guinness World Records to see if they would verify my record but unfortunately they only had a category for The Horse that jumps the highest, whether is ridden by man woman or child, frontwards or backwards. The Record is still held today by Captain Alberto Larraguibel on Huaso in Chile in 1949. The news was disappointing but at this stage I was to involved in my vision to back out.
On the 24th October 2013 I had videographer, photographers, FEI officials, HSI officials & personal friends present to witness my attempts. I had only got the right side saddle 2 weeks before, finding the right saddle was a major struggle. I needed a saddle that was short and light so my horses could release behind and for me I needed a saddle that had not much support as I was relying on my balance and core to keep me in the plate, a real balancing act!
On the day I rode SIEC Atlas over the wall, this horse had jumped to the top level internationally and was the ultimate schoolmaster. He fed me confidence and I fed him bravery. We jumped a few walls before the big one. The relief of landing clear over 6'8ft was and still is indescribable. The horse threw his heart over, followed by his body and all I had to do was give him encouragement and hang on.
Then I mounted SIEC Oberon to attempt 6'5ft over the triple bar. To date this is the most difficult thing so far in my life I have ever attempted. I had to dig deep mentally but my trusty steed had to do so much more!
Hindsight.. I can now see how crazy it was riding 2 completely different horses over 2 completely different jumps and to do it on the same day was extremely ambitious to say the least.
6 weeks ago out of the blue I was contacted by The Guinness World Records to say they would like to verify and recognise my record as it had recieved so much support & attention worldwide.
I had to supply alot of footage that they required over the last few weeks, I had to go back & revisit & relive many many memories.
Today I am delighted to make this official announcement that I am a Guinness World Records Title Holder. For me it's the equivalent of Olympic Gold. I want to own it, cherish it and celebrate it!
None of this would of been possible with out the grass roots of hunting & point to pointing which kept me brave and fit. All the amazing horses that have carried me over many obstacles & terrain. Finally to the support I have recieved from far and wide, Thank You! I am extremely grateful & humbled for all the support I recieve no matter what equestrian endeavor I take on.

To make 16.2hh approx, this is a super striking filly of the quality that is impossible to find as a 2yo.The striking Cape Coral RBF Z is making progress in both sport and breeding. His first breeding results are very promising, several daughters from his first year were standing out at the KWPN mare inspections and his oldest offspring show a lot of talent under saddle.To give this internationally 1.50m jumping stallion all the opportunities for the sport in 2020, he will only be available for breeding via frozen semen this season. After a successful period under Pieter Keunen, Cape Coral RBF Z continues his career with Michel Hendrix. This impressive AES approved stallion seems to have everything to develop into a Grand Prix show jumper.His sire Cornet Obolensky is one of the best breeding stallions of all time. Ridden by Marco Kutscher he participated in the Olympic Games and as a progenitor of show jumpers he has proven himself even more. Offspring like Cornet d’Amour, Clooney, Corbinian, Comme Il Faut, Cornado NRW and Cornet du Lys are achieving outstanding results at the highest level. Cape Coral RBF Z is bred out of the mare Gerona PP, who was successfully competing at 1.40m level with Mans Buurman and is sired by the first class stallion Argentinus. She also foaled the BWP approved stallion Oliver Obolensky, who is a full brother of Cape Coral RBF Z. Granddam Corrada has produced, among others, the international 1.45m jumping horse Atlantis PP Z (s.Air Jordan) of Tess Carmichael. This family is the well-known Holsteiner damline 429, from which top horses like Numero Uno, Dutch Capitol, Lorenz, Kassini Jac and Bellinda also descend.In 2019 Cape Coral RBF Z made his mark on the KWPN mare inspection season. His daughters Lilly HX (Limburg) and Lady dy Loma (Noord-Brabant) won the regional titles at the mare shows and daughter La Suprise SF (Overijssel) finished as vice champion. Four Cape Coral RBF Z-mares were invited for the National Mare Show, where Lilly HX ended up fourth in the final. His daughter La Luna Especiale showed her talent in the mare test for which she passed with 83 points.
her dam is “ster” graded and has no less than 14 siblings competing at 120-140 cm level !!!
this mares own sibling “f-umonia-v” (Marius Claudius) is as a 10yo competing in 140cm classes with dutch rider henk Fredericks.
in her first loose jumps she shows real promise and is a super modern blood type.

The legend of Marion & Stroller. n 1964 Marion won the Hickstead Derby Trial and placed second to Seamus Hayes in the Hickstead Derby,[4] and the following year Marion rode Stroller to a gold medal in the ladies World Championship at Hickstead. She won the 1967 Hickstead Derby, placed second in 1968 and third in 1970. Marion competed at the 1968 Summer Olympics in both the team and the individual jumping events. In the individual jumping she won a silver medal.[2] In 1970, Coakes won the Hamburg Derby with a clear round--the fiftieth recorded on the course and the first time by a female rider.[4] That year Stroller was the leading show jumper Horse of the Year Show. Following Stroller's retirement, Marion continued to jump and won the Queen Elizabeth II Cup again in 1976 while riding on a new mount, Elizabeth Ann.
