The third edition of the Holsteiner Foal Championships in Poland organized on July 5 at the Olimpia Horse Stud, Nowe Dabie, proved that there is neither stagnation caused by the Covid-19 lockdown, nor a slower breeding season syndrome!
Open-air sporting events were allowed to reopen in Poland from mid June – but behind closed doors, although this breeding championship attracted many entries, with breeders and owners ready to present this year’s offspring to the jury.
In fact, this third championship for Holsteiner foals in Poland gather over 40 Polish-bred foals registered with the Holsteiner studbook. The judges, Stephen Haarhoff and Peter Claussen from the Holsteiner Verband, shortlisted nine colts and four fillies from this great selection of showjumping foals, who were then judged again to determine the final result:
• Champion colt – Chubakko x Quite Capitol, bred and owned by Szymon Mukalski
• First vice champion – Comme Il Faut x Zirocco Blue, bred and owned by Marek Wasiewicz
• Second vice champion – Casall x Cascadello, bred and owned by Roma Kosicka,
followed by those placed from fourth to eighth place:
• All Star x Ciacomo, bred and owned by Andrzej Golas,
• Connor x Corrado I, bred and owned by Dariusz Gronowski,
• Emerald x Clinton, bred and owned by Roma Kosicka,
• Comme il Faut x Quidam de Revel, bred and owned by Tomasz Olszewski
