Profile:

Exuding the best hallmarks of the Arabian breed inherited from a host of historically important ancestors, Elwa is representative of the well bred Kuhailan mares for which Janów Podlaski is famous.

Being a double race winner from the track with a money-earning finish in the Lesieniec St., Elwa definitely knows how to move. Responsible for her purposeful strides is without all doubt US Top Ten Stallion and Scottsdale English Pleasure Reserve Champion METROPOLIS NA. Always a stunning mover, METROPOLIS has recently added further performance achievements to his collection with wins in the performance classes at the Autumn Show in Janów Podlaski. He is known for generously bestowing this dynamic movement onto his get, the best including Junior Spring Show Reserve Champion & Polish National Junior Top Five BOREAS. The daughters of METROPOLIS are also establishing themselves as valuable broodmares, with their first produce recently making successful debuts on the show arena as witnessed in Wrocław Arabian Horse Weekend Junior Bronze Medalist CAMILIA & Junior Spring Show class Top Five CALATEA (out of the METROPOLIS daughter CALINECZKA), Autumn Show Junior Silver Medalist CELLA (out of CELINA), Polish National class Top Five NIZARA (out of NIKE) & Junior Spring Show class Top Five ZOYA EL EXTREEM (out of ZŁOTA ZORZA).

Elwa’s dam is the athletically gifted Kuhailan beauty ELWIRA, who brilliantly blends the immeasurable influence of four legendary Janów Podlaski matrons in her pedigree: ARBA, BANDOLA, ALGONKINA & ETNA. ARBA is remembered as the dam of five chief sires and the “bold and beautiful” ARRA, a Triple Crown winner from the track, European & Polish National Champion from the show arena. BANDOLA, “the Queen of Poland”, appears through two of her most significant sons: UK Champion BANAT & the best post-war bred sire in Polish history, BANDOS. ALGONKINA, family founder of Janów Podlaski’s extremely successful line of “A” champs with ALGERIA & ALBULA and more recently AMRA & ALBANO, forwards her genotype to Elwa by means of her Polish National & Swedish National Champion grandson, ALOES.

Whereas the aristocratic ETNA is Elwa’s direct female progenitor. A producer of many superb offspring from matings with various different sires, ETNA left the breed with five chief sires utilized in international breeding (ETAN, ETIW, ETAP, ETERNIT & ETNOGRAF) and splendid daughters, the best of which included the legendary ETRURIA & champion EQUITANA. From them descend numerous masters of the show arena, an unforgettable list of names including ETOGRAM, ECAHO, EQUIFOR & ETNOLOGIA.
