The eye-catching mare Gaskonia (Probat - Gizela / Palas) was born in 1987 at the Horse Stud in Michałów. She passed away in January 2018 at the home stud six days before turning 31. Probat (Pohaniec - Borexia / Exelsjor) - a stallion bred at Blommeröd Stud in Sweden, who was her father, was born in 1975 and also had Polish roots. Probat's father Pohaniec, son of Comet, was born at the Horse Stud in Michałów in 1965. Exelsjor (Aquinor - Eleonora / Witraż), on the other hand,  was bred in 1963 in Janów Podlaski. He went to Sweden as a one-year-old colt and got the title of the National Champion of Sweden in 1966. His daughter Borexia, mother of Probat, became the National Champion of Sweden in 1974. Probat stayed in Poland on a lease between 1980 and 1984 and in 1986. His offspring were characterized not only by their beauty but also bravery and stamina. Probat enriched the Polish breeding with excellent herd mares and valuable leading stallions and therefore rebuilt the Kuhailana Afas family. His three daughters and three sons won the titles of the National Champions of Poland. These were, of course, Gascony and the mares: Egzotyk (Elana by Elf), who triumphed in 1991, and Empress (Emfaz by  Eukaliptus), who became the Champion in 1998.  When it comes to the stallions, these were: Fawor ( Fatma by Anarchist), Garrison (Głownia by El Paso) and Janów's Pamir (Parma by Aswan). One of Probat's most valuable sons is Michałów's Fawor who did great on the track and on the show rings. In 1983, he became the World Junior Champion Stallion in Paris and in 1990 the  Senior Champion Stallion of Poland.

The show in Menton (22-23.06) brought the greatest success for the wonderful mare Eralda (Emerald J - Enezja / Marajj) bred by Falborek Arabians K. Goździalski stud, owned by Al Shiraa Stables (UAE). The mare once again showed her high level by getting a silver medal at the Junior Mare Championship.Earlier, she won the 3-year-old Mare Class with a score of 91.88 points, including as many as three "20" for head and neck. A high rating in this category translated into an additional special prize for the best head! Janów's Encarina also won her 2-year-old Mare Class. Judges awarded her with a high score of 92.50 points. Encarina delighted us with her movement, thanks to which she added three "20" to her collection.Good performance in the Class gave us hope for a medal in the Championship. However, in the Championship the fun starts from the very beginning because it has its laws and rules. Therefore, unfortunately, there was no place on the podium for the representative of the stud from Janów Podlaski.

This year Białka welcomed us with the sunny weather that accompanied us during the whole show. Admittedly, sometimes the temperature was a burden, but small clouds every once in a while allowed us to take a respite. The Horse Stud from Janów Podlaski shone the brightest in the sun, as they won four medals (three gold and one silver). They also got the title of the Best Horse of the Show, i.e. Best in Show! A total of 90 horses met in the ring (100 were entered), including 50 horses from private breeding. In the final, the breeders shared the medals in half: 6 medals were awarded to the private breeders and 6 to the state studs. The stud from Janów Podlaski won four medals and the studs from Białka and Michałów won one medal each.

On April 14, the prestigious Arabian Breeders World Cup ended in Las Vegas. However, before if finished the wonderful news about a gold medal won by a Polish mare took us by surprise. The title of the Senior Mares Champion was won by the gray Perfinka (Esparto - Perfirka / Gazal Al Shaqab), owned and maintained by the SK in Białka, currently leased by the Cedar Ridge Arabians stud (USA). Thus, the mare joined other gold medalists from Las Vegas: the Michałów’s Wieża Mocy which won the gold medal in 2014, Equator - the champion from 2016 and Janów's Pogrom which triumphed in 2013.

On Friday (12 April) Perfinka won in the Arabian World Cup Senior Breeding Mares category 116 with the final rating of 334.50 points.

MEDITERRANEAN & ARAB COUNTRIES ARABIAN HORSE CHAMPIONSHIP, MENTON 2018

This year's Mediterranean & Arab Countries Arabian Horse Championship in Menton (23 - 24.06) was not really kind to horses representing the Polish breeding. Great hopes resting on  Michałów's horses: Pustynia Kahila (Kahil Al Shaqab – Pustynna Malwa/Ekstern) and Equator (QR Marc – Ekliptyka/Ekstern) were not enough. Even though they did quite well in their Classes - they ranked second, they did not win any medals in the finals. The Michałów’s graduate won the second place in the 4-6 year old Mares Class with a total of 92.63 points. It seemed that the place on the podium was guaranteed, however, we had to console ourselves "only"  with the title of the Best European Horse. Moreover, Equator received 92.75 points in the Stallions 8 year old and above Class, including 5 x 20 for movement! Finally, he left Menton with the prize for the best movement - Trophy Pegasus Best Movement.
