Profile:

A superbly designed performer, with money earning finishes from all her starts, Tonacja embodies the athletic achievements of both her sire and dam line. Tonacja is very much her father’s daughter – Polish National & European Champion Stallion, UK Reserve Champion Stallion ELDON, also a very competent racer as a Comet St. winner with 9 showings from 10 starts. Though it is often said that the National Championship is hardest to earn due to the incredible com­petition on home soil, ELDON comes from a sire line which now boasts a con­secutive 5 generations of Polish National Champions, starting with his grandsire PARTNER, through sire PENITENT to ELDON himself, who has further prolonged this successful run with son PIAFF, who has also given a Polish National Champion, the youngster ALERT. Tail female ELDON stems from the highly successful family of ELA, whose champion descendants include European Champion Mare, Polish National & twice Ajman Reserve Champion Mare ESKALOPKA, Polish National Champion Mare EGZOTYKA, Candian Champion Mare & US Top Ten Mare EDINA, Canadian Reserve Champion Mare ESKADRA, European Reserve Champion ELART, Swedish National Champion EWAKUACJA, Swedish Champion Stallion ESPARTERO, Elran Cup Champion EGNA & Scottsdale Reserve & Pacific Slope Champion EGZONERA. ELDON has also made a name for himself as a sire of exquisite daughters in the likes of Lot 8. EMIKA (Polish National Reserve Champion Filly), EPRUWETKA (Midlands Group Summer Show Champion Mare & Merrist Wood Reserve Champion Mare), PERSENKÓWKA (Wels Champion Mare, Vilhelmsborg & Emerald Trophy Reserve Champion Mare), ARIS (Czech Reserve Champion Mare) and ANEGDOTA (Spring Show & Polish National Champion Filly and Warsaw Summer Show Reserve Champion Mare). However the renowned achievements of ELDON are not all there is to Tonacja – on the distaff side she traces back to Kurozwęki foundation mare TREMA, an extremely pro­lific broodmatron who blessed her new barn with the athletic TRAF (winner of Arabian Produce – Janów Podlaski St., Derby, Witeź II St., Embargo St., Witraż St., Ofir St. & Kurozwęki St.), TRIPLA (winner of 6 races with 23 money earning finishes from 28 starts), German Champion Stallion TRZOS & National Endurance Champion TRAP. TREMA prolonged her lasting legacy with TANIA, one of the elite BANDOS’ daughters, who proved her merit by producing chief sire TURBAN and his full sister by PALAS – daughter TAMIZA. As expected of a PALAS daughter, TAMIZA represents all the qualities the world associates with the Arabian mares of Poland, which she has generously passed on to her daughter Tonacja – a perfect choice for adding both classic type and versatile athletic ability to international breeding programs the world over.
