Diana Tavera de Kochański and her mare
Gambia won the gold medal in the N class (81.5 km) at the National Endurance Riding Competition (CEN), organised by the Blue Arabians stable in Olsztyn Jurajski. The second gold, this time in the L class (22.5 km), was won by Maja Wiatr on her mare
Eucharis.
Gambia, a purebred Arabian mare by Kazbek and Greka, won with a speed of 15.06 km/h, which earned her another cup for the fastest horse in the CEN competition. What's more, Diana and Gambia completed the longest distance of their careers to date.
On the other hand, the young mare
Eucharis, sired by Kurier and dammed by Echara, made her debut and reached 13.89 km/h with the permitted speed of 14 km/h. Charismatic and combative, Eucharis has made great progress and is one of our most promising young horses.
And with the weather being exceptionally capricious on that day, both pairs had to complete the course in very difficult conditions. The pouring rain did not help with the steep climbs and downhills, and the rough terrain was littered with roots, pebbles and patches of sand.
But the teams not only persevered, they won in wonderful style.
And for that, they deserve a huge congratulations! They have shown themselves to be incredibly talented, brave and determined. They have the passion, discipline and stamina to become Polish champions soon. And not only that. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
