This weekend, it is time for the Polish National Championships at Janów Podlaski. And this year, a brand new award will be handed out in honour of the one and only GIRLAN-BEY, from the hands of his breeder Michał Bogajewicz. Best of luck to all yearling c**ts competing for this great honour!
“In 2003, the yearling c**t Girlan-Bey, bred by the Niewierz Stud of Mr. and Mrs. Katarzyna and Michal Bogajewicz, changed the course of events at Polish shows. As the first private bred Arabian horse in post-war history of this breed in Poland, he won the class and the Gold Medal at Junior C**ts in the overall ranking at the difficult and prestigious Białka Junior Spring Show. This was the beginning of the abolition of divisions between competitions for private and state-bred horses at Polish shows, and the beginning of a great path not only for Girlan-Bey, but also for the Polish Arabian horse on the international stage - under the joint aegis of state and private breeding together. A year later, in the hands of new owners - the Kristoffersen family from Sweden, Girlan-Bey became European Reserve Champion, and two years later - World Reserve Champion C**t.
To this day, despite his age, Girlan-Bey enjoys great form and brings joy at shows to his successive owners, representing Polish breeding in the Middle East.
This year, on the initiative of Girlan-Bey's breeder, Mr. Michal Bogajewicz, we would like to honor the Best Yearling C**t of Polish National Arabian Horse Show in Janów Podlaski - may he bring similar joy and represent Polish breeding worthily at international arenas in the future.”
