Elberiusz and Martyna Kamińska in the Top 7 at the French Championship and International Endurance Competition in Fontainebleau

2024-10-20

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!

Trophies from Polish Championships and National Endurance Competition

2024-10-07

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.

Gold medal for Elios at the National Competition in Michalow

2024-09-14

Michalow again became the centre of the equestrian world and the scene of exciting rivalry during the Polish ... Championship of Young Horses and the National Endurance Competition.

It was definitely not an easy struggle. The rain never let up, the horses slipped in the mud, and the riders had to dodge treacherous puddles and protect themselves from gusty winds.

The route? A true survivalist experience! 10- and 20-kilometer loops through marshy meadows, boggy forest tracks and flooded country roads. On top of that, hills with a difference in altitude of up to 50 meters! A real and extremely difficult test of endurance for horse and rider.

And in these extreme conditions, our fantastic Elios, ridden by Piotr Dybkowski, won gold over 50 km proving that he is a true warrior!

His clubmate, the temperamental stallion Merci Muhrib Kossack , ridden by Diana Tavera de Kochanski, came 5th in the same category. Which means he's ready for even longer distances in Class N (80-99 km).

We are incredibly proud of our couples! This was not just another important competition - it was a show of tenacity, courage and mastery in its purest form!

Who, like us, can't wait to see what else our riders have in store this season? After all, what can stop them after a test like this?

Martyna Kamińska and Magico de Sao Pedro in the CEI3 competition in Monpazier

2024-09-07

Soon our Polish team will be competing in the Endurance World Championship. We are keeping our fingers crossed ... for their successful start as they compete for gold in Monpazier, France.

But our hearts are beating hard for Martyna Kamińska, who will be riding Magico de Sao Pedro in the accompanying CEI3 competition over a huge distance of 160 km.

Martyna, this start is a wonderful reward for all your hard work together. For your perseverance and fortitude, your incredible strength and persistence in overcoming all obstacles.

Remember that we are with YOU. Go warrior!

Alpess' great success under the Portuguese sun

2024-08-31

It's been really hot in Elvas, Portugal lately as more than a dozen valiant horses and their equally ... determined riders competed in a national endurance event.

Alpess , who has been training with Martyna Kaminska in southern Europe for many months, came second over 40 km, beating 14 other excellent rivals.

Immediately after the race, Martyna reported that Alpess showed outstanding style from start to finish.

He ran lightly and nimbly, and his heart rate dropped quickly. That’s why, once unsaddled, he went straight into the the vet gate, without any water being poured over him.

The proud trainer says that our fiery stallion is already ready to compete at 80 km. So she is carefully planning their next competition and training hard on the sunny Portuguese tracks.

Fingers crossed and see you soon.
