Profile:

As exotic as the tropical fruit she is named after, Papaya is a truly exciting prospect in the 2010 Pride of Poland collection courtesy of Janów Podlaski Stud. A half-sister to Polish National Reserve Champion PORTO, Papaya bears the same nobleness and aristocratic presence, which are without question the legacy of the most coveted “P” line established by PIEWICA. Papaya traces to PIEWICA via her immensely valuable Polish National Reserve Champion Mare daughter PENTO­DA, whose accomplished descendants include chief sire PERS, US Champion Mare PENICYLINA, Polish National Champion Filly PEKTYNA, European multichampion PESAL, Polish National Champion Filly PETARDA, German Champion Mare, Paderborn Reserve Champion Mare PERFIDIA, Polish National Champion Filly PEREŁKA, Wels Champion Mare, Vilhelmsborg & Emerald Trophy Reserve Champion Mare PERSENKÓWKA, Radpuszta, Casino Cup & Autumn Show Champion Colt, Polish National Top Five Colt PANICZ, Junior Spring Show Champion Filly & Best in Show, Polish National Reserve Champion Filly, Wels International Bronze Medalist PSYCHE KREUZA, Wels International Reserve Champion Filly, Vilhelmsborg International Champion Filly, twice World Top Ten Filly, Polish National Top Five Filly PSYCHE VICTORIA and PESTKA – Papaya’s granddam, whose daughters and granddaughter have produced no less than 5 chief sires active in breeding today: Warsaw Summer Show Champion Colt, Polish National Reserve Champion Colt, Polish National Champion Stallion, European Top Five Stallion, thrice World Top Ten Stallion, Autumn Show Champion Stallion POGANIN, Autumn Show Champion Stallion PEGASUS, Poznań International Champion Colt PERSEUSZ, Papaya’s afore mentioned bro­ther – Polish National Reserve Champion Colt PORTO and Spring Show Champion Colt/Best in Show PRADO. Papaya’s & PORTO’s dam PSYCHE is by EUKALIPTUS, known for siring exquisite  broodmares, and PSYCHE without a doubt ranks as one of the very best. Papaya herself is the daughter of EKSTERN, a horse with a stellar pedigree, phenotype to match and genetic potential as witnessed in his successful progeny: Polish National Champion Stallion, All Nations Cup Reserve Champion Stallion & Middle Eastern multichampion ESPARTO, European Champion Filly, Polish Natio­nal, Spring Show, Falborek & Ströhen Reserve Champion Filly; All Nations Cup, European & Polish National Reserve Champion Mare and Spring Show Reserve Champion Filly PALANGA, Babolna International Reserve Champion Filly EPIMA, Vilhelmsborg Reserve Champion Filly SZANTA, Polish National, Bełżyce Champion Colt & Autumn Show Reserve Cham­pion Colt CELSJUSZ, Spring Show Reserve Champion Filly ALTAMIRA, Polish National Champion Filly, Austrian Champion Mare SEFORA, Polish National Reserve Champion Filly PINTA, Polish National Reserve Cham­pion Filly EKSTERNA, Polish National Champion Filly WIEŻA RÓŻ and the already mentioned PSYCHE KREUZA, PSYCHE VICTORIA & PRADO. The combination of PIEWICA’s world-class heritage with the excellence of show-dazzler EKSTERN makes Papaya the optimum choice for any international breeding program.
