Whilst in full competition in 2005, Genoa was flushed with three embryos for transfer into surrogate mothers. Genoa was chosen for the Australian Showjumping team and had a sensational 9th place in the first qualifier after only German horses at Balve.
This exceptional mare had been sold by Kinnordy Stud as a yearling. She had a foal at the age of four and was sold to a young, talented rider, Bryia Anderson who won the Young Rider Grand Prix at the NSW State Championships in 2003. Genoa won many times and was highly placed in competitions up to Grand Prix with Bryia Anderson until she was sold to Kolora Stud in 2003 when her current rider Peter McMahon discovered the mare. From then, they went from strength to strength.
