YOUNG JUMPER PROFILE: CCF CORAL SEA

No stranger to developing young horses, Michelle Parker has successfully competed on many mounts, including homebreds. CCF Coral Sea, aka ‘Coral’, is practically family for Parker. Coral was bred by Parker’s mother and is the offspring of two of Parker’s previous Grand Prix mounts. Like his parents, Coral is on track to step into the Grand Prix Ring once he graduates from the Young Jumper Divisions. 

As a 5-year old, Coral earned top prizes throughout 2018 in the Young Jumper division, even winning one round of the Championships. Now competing in the 6-year old Young Jumper division, this flashy bay is continuing his #PathwayToSuccess. 

In Coral’s Young Jumper Profile below, Parker shares his backstory and some insight on his “cool” personality.
