daughter of the keur stallion Corland, who was highly successful at the top
level of sport. Wyrusa H has produced several sport horses, including the
international 1.55m horse Cat Ninja (s.Zirocco Blue), the international 1.40m
horse Cyruso H (s.Atlantic), and Jiwyrusa H (s.Baltic VDL), who competes at
1.30m level. The keur preferent prestatie granddam Pyrusa H (s.Indoctro)
produced, in combination with Corland, three international sport horses, among
them two competing at 1.40m level and one at 1.35m level, as well as a 1.30m
horse by Vermont. This predicate-rich damline continues with the keur preferent
prestatie mare Irusa, a daughter of the preferent stallion Nimmerdor. She is
the dam of the KWPN stallion Wittinger VDL, who competed at international Grand
Prix level with Jur Vrieling. In addition, Irusa produced three sport horses by
Indoctro: Giruso H, competing at 1.40m level; Irus, at 1.35m; and Biruso H, at
1.30m level.
