Profile:

Named after the main female character from the best-selling Harry Potter novels, Hermiona’s alluring appeal is sure to leave you spellbound. She has already bewitched the international jury panel at the extremely competitive Junior Spring Show at Białka, scoring a class Top Five with her stunning phenotype, which evidently has a strong genetic background, as Hermiona’s younger sister HESPE­RA has repeated her older sibling’s success, also placing among the best Top Five in her class at the Junior Spring Show. That feminine and very much aristocratic charm is most definitely the contribution of their granddam HEROLDIA. A class winner at the Polish Nationals in perhaps the toughest category of them all – the senior mares’ class, besting Poland’s best mover FRASKATA & Polish National Champion Mare GASKONIA – HEROLDIA easily ranks as a premier daughter of EUKALIPTUS, a name known to all connoisseurs of the Polish Arabian. His list of exquisite get includes an incomparable collection of mares, both stellar perfor­mers in the show ring and exceptional producers in the breeding barn as witne­ssed in, among others, EMIGRANTKA, EMANACJA, ERLANDA, PIANOSA, GRENLANDIA, LARISSA, PASSA, ESKLAWA, AMRA & CZECZOTKA. Tail female both Hermiona & HEROLDIA belong to the illustrious family of ARFA – full sister to cornerstone horses of significance: the immortal US champion of cham­pions BASK and the Janów Podlaski cherished broodmatron BANDOLA – through her daughter HARFA, the progenitor of a highly accomplished “H” family of achievers, including European, Polish National, Swedish Champion Stallion HARACZ, Gieboldehausen Champion Mare HABENDA, Polish National Champion Stallion and athletic racehorse HARBIN, All Scandinavian Reserve Champion Mare HULANKA, US Region I & III Champion Stallion and US Region II Reserve Champion Stallion HUN & the lovely HULA – sold at the 2006 Pride of Poland Sale for 160,000 Euro. Furthermore Hermiona possesses the extremely valuable bloodlines of Poland’s two most revered “P” lines – that of PARMA & PIEWICA. The former (PARMA) has left a mark in history with as much as five chief champion sires: PARYS, PASAT, POLONEZ, PAMIR & PARTNER. While the latter (PIEWICA) is renowned the world over for her strikingly exotic mares, both through the legendary names of old – PENTOZA, PENTODA, PENI­CYLINA, PILARKA, PIPI, PETARDA, PIANOSA, PISTACJA, as well as through the beauties of today – PIETA, PINTA, PINGA, PALMETA, PSY­CHE KREUZA, PSYCHE VICTORIA and the celebrity PIANISSIMA. The afore mentioned BASK makes a further double appearance in Hermiona’s pedigree via her sire METROPOLIS NA. This athletic achiever, valued for his exemplary size, substance and powerful length of stride, has blessed Hermiona with high trotting action and dynamic movement – attributes greatly desired in the Polish Arabian. Capitalize on this unique combination of legendary heritage, athletic capability and show appeal – allow Hermiona to work her magic in your breeding program.
