Profile:

Alluring, athletic and authentic – these are the very best qualities of the classic Polish mare, and EMIKA exemplifies these essential characteristics in spades. She has long been beloved as one of the premier mares at Białka and a superlative example of the siring ability of European & Polish National Champion ELDON. From him, EMIKA inherits exceptional structure and substance, depth and capacity of body, clean, well placed and solidly designed feet and legs and an upright, elegant carriage. Her greatest ELDON gifts, however, are without question her effervescent show attitude and her trademark, show-stopping trot – explosively powerful with tremendous length of stride, incredible strength of suspension and animated elegance – qualities that have earned her success as both a junior and senior mare in Poland and across Europe amongst the breed elite. Paternally, EMIKA is an elite member of a universally acclaimed sorority of exceptional ELDON & PENITENT daughters, renowned both for show ring achievement & production ability. Through her dam, EMOZA, EMIKA has faithfully brought forward to the next generation the refined and beautifully dished head of PALAS, the large dark eye of NABORR & ELLORA, the long, lean and upright neck of EL PASO & CELINA, as well as the athletic balance and compact structure of COMET. Most uniquely, EMIKA traces tail female through both sire and dam to the Milordka dam line and the invaluable Michalow foundation mare ELA, a mare who endowed her many accomplished descendants with both attractiveness and athleticism. This double dose of ELA excellence is enhanced in EMIKA's pedigree by several of the most influential and universally respected mares in Polish breeding history, including ESTEBNA, PIEWICA, PARMA, CARMEN & FORTA as well as the superbly structured, athletically inclined ELEONORA, to whom EMIKA traces thrice. Like the meritorious matrons in her heritage, EMIKA continues to prove herself a consistent producer of quality, as best evidenced in her look-alike daughter ESMETA (EKSTERN), the promising young herd sire EKIER (METROPOLIS NA) and her best effort to date - an ultra-handsome, extremely upright and bold moving 2009 colt by ENZO. Bold, beautiful and genetically blessed, EMIKA possesses all the fundamental elements of success necessary for international achievement and acclaim in the modern Arabian breeding program.
