One of the most beautiful and celebrated daughters of Janów Podlaski’s premier broodmatron CELNA, Cefeida is a mirror reflection of her dam, boasting the same vascular black skin, thin lustrous coat, radiant maternal presence, huge, dark magical eyes, wonderfully shaped long neck, emerging gracefully and cleanly from the chest, a capaciously deep, well-sprung barrel, broad muscular chest, powerful quarter and level, supple topline with correct, desert dry limbs that perform a gliding, dynamic trot. Without a doubt CELNA’s exquisite phenotype, which she so generously shares with her daughter, is borne out of the presence of two of Poland’s greatest broodmatrons in her pedigree – ALGERIA and BANDOLA – whose influence on Polish Arabian breeding is immeasurable. ALGERIA’s, “the mare that lay golden eggs”, input includes such names known to every breeder as Dutch Champion ALEGRO, Spring Show/Best in Show & Polish National/Best in Show Champion ALBULA, Spring Show Champion ALGERINA, Polish National Reserve Champion ALMERIA, chief sires ALKAZAR & ALGIERCZYK, Polish National/Best in Show & Warsaw Summer Show/Best in Show Champion AMRA, Junior Spring Show Top Five ALABAMA, Polish National Reserve Champion ASLAN & Autumn Show Champion ALWARO. While BANDOLA is mostly remembered for her sires of immense significance – BANDOS and BANAT. True to her heritage Celna has been a prolific producer of typically beautiful and capably athletic foals such as Arabian Produce & Kabaret St. winner CALDERON, Junior Spring Show class winner CEFEIDA, Autumn Show Champion CENOZA and the delightful Cefeida, whose phenotype is further influenced by her sire METROPOLIS NA, twice US Top Ten Stallion and Scottsdale Arabian Reserve Champion English Pleasure Horse – a stellar example of beauty and performance in one package and a modern day descendant of the immensely important sire line of Kuhailan Haifi through breed pillar BASK. METROPOLIS can also add to his list of sire achievements the colt BOREAS, freshly awarded with the title of Junior Spring Show Reserve Champion at Białka. Symbolizing all that is valued in the Polish breeding program, Cefeida is an excellent choice for any breeding program focused on type, quality and refined elegance.
