We started with a bang! And after the first National Endurance Competition in Forninho, Portugal, we have reason...
to celebrate!
In a field of 34 riders from all over the world, Martyna Kamińska on the 6-year-old Alpess ( Merci Murhib Kossack x Alpessa) and Piotr Dybkowski on the 8-year-old Magico de Sao Pedro (Aziz Ben Dandy x Troia) competed in a race of 80 km!
It was a beautiful sporting challenge under the Portuguese spring sun and among the majestic cork oaks. Martyna and Alpess were in the lead right from the start, only to set off a real firecracker on the final loop!
A masterful ride, perfect timing and gold for our exceptional pair, who averaged 15.79 km/h. Which also means that Alpess qualified for the star event over 100 km.
Our debutant Piotr did well again, finishing 6th together with Magico at an average speed of 15.72 km/h.
It's only the beginning of the season and we already know it's going to be great! Stay tuned as appetite comes with .... kilometres!

Our Alpess not only beat his first 80 km, but also all his competitors at the National Endurance...
Competition in Sines, Portugal.
First place and an excellent average speed of 15.59 km/h.
Alpess is a young stallion, just 5 years old. A strong, independent and fiery horse with a calm balanced character who has a fantastic future ahead of him.
Bravo Martyna Kamińska. Your tender and caring trainings and your joint hard work, consistency and belief in success are yielding excellent results.

They say the road to the top is tough, but when you get there, you're rewarded with amazing...
views. So Martyna Kamińska has a lot to admire, because after all the hard races this year, she is already at the top of the International Equestrian Federation’s world ranking.
She is 345th out of almost 3,000 riders from all over the world!
And the first Polish woman to have twice as many points as the next Polish rider on the list. Far ahead of the previous leaders of the ranking.
Martyna, congratulations on your individual results and on earning the stars that made this great success possible. And thank you for your ideas, perseverance, courage and persistence on your way to the top. We feel great to have conquered it together.

Amidst the excitement of the French Championship and International Endurance Competition in Fontainebleau we had no time to...
catch our breath.
On the starting line of the CEI* competition (100 km) stood the best, the bravest and the best-trained horses, including the champions of France and the Sheikh of Dubai, and among them was our Elberiusz , who competed as an equal.
The start, the first loop and we knew straight away it was going well. Martyna was calm, Elberiusz was composed. 3rd place and an excellent average speed of 17.9 km/h. Only 28 seconds behind the first pair.
After 50 km, Martyna and Elbi are still in the lead, although their rivals are pushing hard. We are fighting. Only 47 seconds lost to the fastest rider.
The third gate, we've completed 70 km. We are fighting for every second. Compulsory veterinary re-inspection, successfully passed. We get very high scores. Let’s go.
13 seconds behind the leading French rider, who is one of the top 10 equestrians in the world. Martyna is right behind the Al Jazeer horse. In the lead are horses from France and Dubai, the average speed is already 18 km/h.
39 strong riders battle it out for the title of French Champion. Last loop, last service. The most ambitious are pushing, Martyna and Elbi are holding their nerves, but they don't let up for a second.
The lead group is heading towards the finish line at an enormous speed. People, horses, adrenaline, excitement. Martyna and Elberiusz finished 6th, but for us they are champions and winners.
Congratulations from the bottom of our hearts, we are very proud of you!
Congratulations also to the winners, the competitors and their horses, and to Grand Parquet for the great organisation of the Championship. P.S. Of course it was a rainy day 😉
But we are not stopping, as Elbi will be racing 120 km at the next international competition. Fingers crossed!

Last weekend, in the beautiful forests of Lower Silesia in Kościelna Wieś took place the FEI International Competition,...
the Polish Senior Championships, the Polish Junior and Young Rider Championships and the National Endurance Competition (CEN), which we could not miss.
We had 4 fantastic pairs competing. It was cold, wet and very demanding. And far away, as Kościelna Wieś is more than 500 km from Kępiaste. But it was definitely worth it.
1st place for Martyna Kamińska and Sakson over 100 km in the FEI and National competitions and 1st place for Maria Filipska and Salim in the P class (40 km, CEN). This was also possible thanks to Piotr Dybkowski, who prepared and trained both horses.
And although this time Piotr, who rode Elios and finished 4th in the P class (40 km, CEN), was not on the podium, he had the best gate entry time. And that among 12 competitors!
Diana Tavera de Kochański, who competed on the stallion Merci Murhib Kossak in the N Class (80 km, CEN), also had excellent timing and came 3rd.
The horses and riders deserve a huge applause, but at least the same applause should be given to the tireless technical team, who went almost 15 km through the Lower Silesian forests to service, help and support Martyna, Diana, Piotr and Marysia and our brave horses. Big kudos to Piotr Kochański, Leon Kochański, Dorota Wilczak, Michał Rij, Rafał Olejnik and Ignacy Filipski.
We would also like to thank SKJ Brawura, for the fantastic adventure, and congratulate the Polish Champions and all competitors on their results.
