Profile:

A royally bred Białka beauty in the prime of her life, bearing a beautiful caramel coat color and a respected production record, Elmina is uniquely linebred to PALAS extremely close in her pedigree via dam ELŻUNIA and sire’s dam HALFA. PALAS, without question the best imported sire utilized in Polish breeding after the war, of impeccable dryness, a refined head and large eye, gave very valuable sons – Polish National & World Champion GONDOLIER, Polish National, Swedish National & European Champion HARACZ, European, Polish National, & UK International Reserve Champion ENDEL, Polish National Champion ARARAT and even more valuable daughters: PILARKA – dam of Janów Podlaski broodmatron supreme PIPI, ETRURIA – dam of chief sires ECAHO & ETOGRAM, EMIGRACJA – source of an incredible number of international champions of the highest caliber known as Michałów’s “E” dynasty of champions, PIECZĘĆ – dam of PIRUET, GIZELA – dam of GASKONIA & GEORGIA, as well as PENICYLINA, CAMEA, ANGOLA, PREMIA, ALEJKA, ELEWKA, FANTASTKA, WARSZULA, KABAŁA, EGI­NA, PERFIDIA, and last but by no means least – Elmina’s female progenitors: HALFA (dam of HARBIN) and ELŻUNIA. HARBIN, one of the few EUKA­LIPTUS’ sons which received the privilege to continue his sire’s legacy in Polish breeding, was a tenacious athlete on the racetrack, winner of five races, including Piechur & Wielki Szlem St., and always with money ear­ning finishes in all stakes he entered, including strong second finishes in the Derby, Kabaret, Arabian Produce – Janów Podlaski & Michałów St. behind DRUID, the most successful racehorse of the last 75 years. However the show arena held no competition for him, as he walked off with the coveted title of Polish National Champion. His exceptional refinement and beauty are the gifts of EUKALIPTUS, whose daughters form an incom­parable collection of broodmares, both stellar performers in the show ring and exceptional producers for leading breeding programs around the world. This list of superlative mares includes: EMFAZA, PASSA, EMI­GRANTKA, ESKLAWA, EMANACJA, GRENLANDIA, HULANKA, ERLA­NDA, EGNA, HEROLDIA, LARISSA, PEPESZA, PANIKA, PIANOSA, ALTONA, PSYCHE, AMRA. The distaff link to PALAS in Elmina comes via dam ELŻUNIA, a chestnut beauty and prized Kurozwęki broodmare, stemming from the important family of the mare ELLORA, source of nu­merous invaluable Arabian show and breeding horses known for sensa­tional movement, including EL PASO, EL GHAZI, EL AZRAK, ELLORUS, ELEWACJA, KAJORA and her champion son – GAZAL AL SHAQAB. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to incorporate the extraordinary herita­ge of PALAS into your breeding program with Elmina, who promises to be a mare of great value to the serious breeder.
