About Cella

Cella is a (died 2018) chestnut showjumping mare foaled in 1992, by Calando II.

Cella, a chestnut mare, was born on 12 March 1992 in Switzerland. She is registered as a Demi-sang Suisse and was bred by Fritz Keller. Standing at 168 cm, Cella's impressive lineage plays a significant role in her pedigree. Her dam is Sindy, a Demi-sang CH. This lineage contributed to her exceptional capabilities, setting the stage for a successful showjumping career.

Cella's showjumping accomplishments are significant. She formed a celebrated partnership with British rider Ben Maher, with whom she achieved top rankings in the FEI standings in 2013. Together, they clinched team gold and individual silver medals at the 2013 European Championships in Herning, Denmark. Among her notable victories, Cella triumphed at events in Florida, Aachen, and during the London leg of the Global Champions Tour.

However, her career faced challenges due to injuries, missing significant events like the FEI European Showjumping Championships in 2015 and the World Equestrian Games. Owned by Jane Forbes Clark, Cella retired from international competition following her appearance at the London Global Champions Tour in 2015 and passed away in 2018.
