After three days filled with sporting emotions, we have learnt the results of the XV Mistrzostwa Polski Koni Arabskich Czystej Krwi. As many as 39 pairs took part in the competition – it was very important for us that in such a large group we could celebrate this exceptional, jubilee edition of the Championships.
Already on Friday, we found out the results of the first two competitions – Type & Confirmation. The first one, intended for horses taking part in the Classic All-Round classification, was won by the stallion CYGARRO Z GÓR (Portel – Cirliia z Gór / Pentagram) bred and owned by Wacław Sajdak and presented by the his rider – Hanna Dziża, Right behind her was INNER (Gorec – Indonesia / Shantos) bred by Damis BT and owned by Marta Matysik, the third place was won by the pair Natalia Ciman – Samoilenko and POZIOMKA (Kuheilaan Afas Maidan – Pointa / Alwaro) bred and owned by Paweł Lis.
No less excitement was brought by the second class, intended for the remaining contestants. The winner was the stallion ZŁOTY MEDAL (QR Marc – Złota Orda / Pesal) bred and owned by Michłów Stud, scoring the maximum score of 20 points!
