Coulisa (born February 8, 2004, died October 11, 2014) was a chestnut mare registered in the Oldenburg studbook, a daughter of Couleur Rubin. Inseminated at 3 by the stallion Chacco-Blue, she gave birth in 2008 to the filly Chacclina at her home stud, Gestüt Lewitz, in Germany. She was then acquired by Swiss entrepreneur Thomas Straumann, who entrusted her to Irish rider Denis Lynch for show jumping competitions from 2012.

Heavily whipped during the Grand Prix of the official 5-star International Show Jumping Competition (CSIO5*) in Rotterdam in June 2014, she fell into Spa bars and fractured her hip. The fall, broadcast live on Dutch television, leads to controversy due to the lack of punishment for the rider. Coulisa was euthanized three months later.
