Pjatakova (Balaton x Popova by Podsneijnik) |
|
|
|
British National Champion 2004, Twice Austrian National Champion |
|
Pjatakova was bred by the Kossack Stud in Holland. Her dam, the famous
Popova by Podsnejnik out of Poliana, is one of the most precious mares
at the Kossack Stud. Popova was Nations Cup champion as a yearling and
is one of the most successful straight Russian show mares in Europe.
She has inspired all of those fortunate enough to see her in the flesh.
Pjatakova's sire Balaton needs no introduction, the sire of World
Champion Kubinec, Balenina, Abakan, Absent, Verbala, Sibiria and lots
more. Hans Trummer has chosen her when she was still in utero and when
she was born, he drove to Holland to have a look on that foal. To buy
her, he had to sell 4 other horses, but it was worth every amount of
money. Pjatakova inherits her mothers beautifully refined head and
fabulous elevated movement from the Salon line. Not only is she amazing
to look at but she has a temperament to die for. She stands at a huge
15.3hh and yet retains her exquisite type and refinement.
Pjatakova is known in Austria as 'The Swan' because of her beauty and
is as versatile as she is beautiful. She is the dam of 5 fillies to
date, is a superb ridden horse in both Western and English disciplines
and also remains a superb in hand show horse. She gained Austrian
National Champion titles as a two year old and also as a four year old
and was Reserve in 2001. BRITISH NATIONAL CHAMPION MARE was added to
her long list of successes in 2004.
Her daughter Moldavia, by TR Viktor, became Austrian National Reining
Champion in 2004. Vienna Regional Reining Champion '04 and was 5th at
the European Reining Championships - all this in only her first season!
When Michelle and Hughes came to our stud to see Pjatakova, they loved
her because she exemplifies ideal Arabian horse qualities and we all
hope for more beautiful babies from her in the future.
