Bearing notable experience from the show arena, race track and breeding barn, Giralda represents the very core of the Polish breeding program – bold, beautiful and prolific.

Her curriculum vitae includes class Top Fives from the International Arabian Horse Show in Poznań and the competitive Junior Spring Show in Białka (where she was recognized with 90,33 points), two money-earning finishes from just three race starts and four correct foals on the ground, produced regularly each year. 

These versatile abilities are an endowment of Giralda’s damline of champion show and race stars, taking root from the superb Michałów broodmatron GIZELA – a multiple stakes victor, Salon Du Cheval class winner and dam of seven splendid daughters, which have left a significant mark in Polish breeding. This incomparable collection of females includes: stakes winner GENEZA, Pride of Poland 2006 highest-selling mare GEHENNA, Polish National Reserve Champion and Oaks winner GARONNA (dam of champion sire GANGES), Polish National Champion GASKONIA (dam of champion sires GASKOŃCZYK, GASPAR & GRAFIK), GWARANCJA (dam of Derby winner GWARO), World & Polish National Top Five GEORGIA (dam of South African super star GEORGETOWN and World & Polish National Champion GALILEA) and GIZA – dam of Race Horse of the Year GEPARD & GIRLANDA – Giralda’s dam. 

GIRLANDA herself, one of Michałów’s exquisite EUKALIPTUS daughters, is a double Junior Spring Show class Top Five finalist, and also dam to Polish National, Janów Podlaski Autumn Show & Bełżyce Show class Top Five honoree GAILARDIA. She is currently continuing her breeding duties in Martinique, a place which she calls home after the 2005 Pride of Poland Sale.

These many-sided capabilities are further amplified in Giralda by her multi-talented sire ELDON – European & Polish National Champion, UK Reserve Champion and triple race winner. ELDON generously shares these traits with his get, as witnessed in stake winners EUNOS, ARABESKA & ESKAT, CZAKAMAR, PARAD, ESPADERO, ESCORIAL & FISZKA and show champions PIAFF, EMIKA, ETYK, ANEGDOTA, PERM, ARIS, PERSENKÓWKA & EDEON. ELDON’s siring predictability comes as no surprise, as he belongs to a sireline where five consecutive male generations boast the title of Polish National Champion – PARTNER-PENITENT-ELDON-PIAFF and the latter’s young son ALERT.

A brilliant combination of two multi-talented bloodlines ensures that Girlanda is the perfect choice for adding classic type and athletic ability to any international breeding program.
