Despite the pandemics, organizers succeeded to conduct one of the most popular shows of the year - Menton Mediterranean and Arab Countries Arabian Horse Championship. Polish exhibitors were absent in France, but many Polish-bred stars appeared in the ring. WILDONA after a spectacular win in the class was chosen Reserve Senior Champion Mare.
Michałów’s WILDONA (Shanghai EA – Wilda/Gazal Al Shaqab), currently on lease to Al Sheikh Stud has been showered with excellent scores, receiving a stunning number of 11 twenties, including unanymous „20” for type. In the championship she was surpassed by only 6 years old Mozn Albidayer, later chosen Best Female in Show.
In the class of 7 years and older mares we watched Janów-bred trio: owned by Nina Suskievicova PILAROSA (Al Adeed Al Shaqab – Pilar/Fawor) and BINDUGA (Kahil Al Shaqab – Bigamia/Ekstern), placed second and fifth, followed by Irina Stigler’s ESPARTA (Poganin – Epoka/Pohaniec), placed sixth. ATIUS O (Shahim Al Nakeeb – Atia oOne/Johann El Jamaal), brought to Europe by Mr. Czesław Gołaszewski and presented by Paweł Kozikowski, won the oldest stallions class, receiving – as usual – all five „20” for movement. He returns from the show with Senior Stallions Bronze Medal.
Congratulations to all involved – and see you next year.
