Cera was the first mare brought by His Late Majesty King Hussein the 1st of Jordan for Team Harmony. Cera was chosen by HRH Princess Haya at the end of her five year old year in the yard of Thomas and Renata Fuchs in Switzerland. This mare bred by Harme Thomehlen, comes from a female line of mares six successive generations of which jumped Nations Cup level representing Germany. Cera herself, a mother at three, produced Fein Cera who was leading horse in the Jerez World Equestrian Games 2002, partnered with Peter Wilde (USA).

Cera competed for Team Harmony, ridden and produced by the late Paul Darragh (IRE) 1995-1997. She won 7 international CSIA Grand Prixs and twenty nine CSIA international classes, I World Cup Qualifier (Seville). In 1997 she was moved with the rest of Team Harmony to Germany and was ridden by HRH Princess Haya. During the eight month illness of His late Majesty King Hussein, Princess Haya requested that Otto Becker, then also stabled at Paul Schockemohle's continue to campaign Cera, and this partnership won the German Championships in Gera 1998. After which she competed successfully with HRH Princess Haya at 150 / Grand Prix level until her retirement for stud in 2001.

Cera was selected for the Atlanta Olympics Games by the Irish Equestrian selector's to be ridden by the late Paul Darragh, and also selected by the German Federation selectors to represent Germany as a team horse with Otto Becker in the World Championships in Rome 1998, both times she was withdrawn from the selection pool by His Late Majesty King Hussein deeming that both appearances were an honor, but definitely not in the best interests of the mare or his daughter HRH Princess Haya.
