Salim is a horse that combines the bravery of endurance and racing lines but also the beauty of those meritorious in show breeding. His sire, the Janów Podlaski-bred El-Vis, ran 4 seasons competing as many as 42 times. Among his bravest racing progeny we find the stallions Azylant, Nantes or the mare Safija, who finished most of their starts in paid places.
El-Vis, a son of the Russian originating Visbaden bred in Tersk and exported for breeding in Hungary from where he was also leased to Poland, competed successfully in endurances well.
El-Vis is a son of Etnografia, a great broodmare, grandmother of such stars as the Reserve Champion of the Nations Cup and Top Ten of the World Championships – Etnologia, or the dam of the private bred show veteran and sire of show horses – Etnodrons Psyche.
Whereas in Polish and world breeding Visbaden himself came to prominence primarily as the father of the Janów Podlaski’s mare Pętla – representative of the famous ‘P’ line from this stud, but also known as the mother of outstanding stallions, horses of correct conformation and iron-like health.
Among her sons we find the lovely Prado, Poligon and Pentagram, who were proven not only in shows but also under saddle, Pentagram being one of the better running horses of his crop.
On the other hand, the most famous offspring of Pętla turned out to be Pogrom – hailed not only as Polish Champion but also as the first ever Triple Crown Champion in the USA, winner of the National Championship, the Scottsdale Show and the Las Vegas World Cup.
On his dam's side, Salim is a representative of the Saletra female line – she was a price record holder at one of the first auctions – 76.000 USD in 1976, sold to the USA. In spite of this sale, this line produced in Poland reliable horses such as Sylwan or Sadan, from this line also comes the bravely running track mare Słonka, bred by Bogusław Dąbrowski, who in turn became famous as the mother of the show champion – Szanta, purchased by Falborek Arabians.
In addition, Salim's great-grandfather on his dam's side is the Triple Crowned on the Racecourse, Racehorse of the Year – Europejczyk, and his grandfather is Borek, also a race horse champion, highly regarded in the endurance lines.
Salim, at the age of 6, began his career in endurance riding in 2023 by participating in 40 km competitions.
In 2024, Salim started in LovEnPeas colors under Marysia Filipska in P class over 40 km in Koscielna Wies National Endurance Competition, held along the Polish Senior Championships and the FEI International Competition, where the pair took 1st place.
