Profile:

An engaging young mare wonderfully combining Poland’s old, established through centuries of selective breeding damline, renowned for its beauty and stamina with a fashionable modern sire of today’s era, Sotika bears the genetic potential of yesterday with the phenotype of tomorrow. Sotika’s memorable performances include a 3rd spot from the Junior Spring Show in Białka (behind ­Junior Spring Show Reserve Champion Filly WASA and Junior Spring Show Top Five Champion Filly ALABAMA) an incredible 2nd place in class at the demanding Polish Nationals and a whooping score of 90,6 points earned at the All Nations Cup in Aachen. Sotika’s siblings are proof that the “show gene” runs deep in the family, as their dam SŁONKA has also produced Vilhelmsborg Reserve Champion Filly, Junior Spring Show class winner & Polish Nationals class Top Five finalist SZANTA, Junior Spring Show class Top Five finalist SPAŁA & Polish Nationals class Top Five finalist SATENIA. Sotika and SŁONKA trace to Janów Podlaski’s famous “S” dynasty of accomplished racers, with the “S” deriving from the name of family founder SABELLINA, but could just as well stand for “stamina” and “speed”, as six successive generations of this family have won the Derby, Oaks or both, as well as other stake races, with many mares gaining the Triple Crown. Not to be overshadowed by athletic successes, the family has also left a mark on the show arena with SEFORA (Polish National Champion Filly, All Nations Cup Top Five Filly, World Top Ten Filly, Austrian Champion Mare), SARMATA (Brazilian Champion Stallion), SASZA (twice UK Champion Mare), SIKLAWA (Polish National Reserve Champion Filly, Citta di Castello Reserve Champion Mare, Qatar Reserve Champion Mare), SARAGON (Austrian Reserve Champion Sta­llion) & SARADELA (World, All Nations Cup & Swedish Champion Mare, European Reserve Champion Mare). Sotika’s sire is WH JUSTICE, nick­named without much exaggeration „the Champion Maker”. His get boast an incredible amount of titles from both European and Middle Eastern arenas, as seen in PANAREA BY PALAWAN, AJMAN MONI­SCIONE, BESS FA’IZAH, ABHA OPALINA, FM GLORIAA and JUWANDA OS, to name but a few. His Polish-born get also have their list of successes, beginning with ALTIS – All Nations Cup, Polish National & Vilhelmsborg International Reserve Champion Colt, WASA – Junior Spring Show Reserve Champion Filly & EL PIATZOLLA – Scandinavian Open Reserve Champion Filly. Representing best what the Polish Arabian stands for – beauty and stamina in one – expect Sotika to add value to any barn focused on excellence in every aspect of Arabian horse breeding.
