Text: Sonja Smaldone

This year was the 11th anniversary since Al Khale- diah Stables in Ryhad, Saudi Arabia, built a Euro- pean branch of their herd in Nowe Wrońska, near Warsaw, under the name of Al Khalediah Poland. Last year the Stud’s Board of Directors introdu- ced signi cant changes in the breeding program of show and racing horses of the branch, making staff changes at the very top levels of Al Khalediah Poland. But also, and even more importantly, the show got promoted to a class ‘A’ - Ecaho show. Close to 130 horses checked in the show catalogue for the 6th edition of the event to compete for the total amount of 125.000 Euro that was dedicated to the winners: all the horses placed 1-5 respecti- vely in their classes as well as in the championships with Top Fives and the Al Khalediah Poland Cup race held traditionally at Warsaw Race- track on Sunday. Although A-ranked, the show had no particular quali ca- tion requirements so it was open for all Arabian horses. It also gave a chance to Top 3 hor- ses from each class to qualify to the Finals. The new rule added this year was Ecaho open system with Top Five being used for the Championship that raised the chances for every classi ed hor- se for the medal places. The show was judged this year by the international pa- nel of jury as follows: Maria Fer- raroni (Italy), Helen Hennekens Van Nes (The Netherlands), Irina Stigler (Rus- sia), Klaus Beste (Germany), Mark Ismer (Germany) and Tamas Rombauer (Hungary). Every class was scored by 4 out of 6 judges selected by computer lottery system and the whole show has been live thanks to Arabian Horse Global team. As per tradition, the rst day belonged to the Ju- nior Classes - Females and Males from 1 to 3 years old while Saturday featured the Senior Classes with many illustrious names in the catalogue. The qua- lity of horses that came to 6th edition of Al Khale- diah European Festival was outstanding and could be witnessed by the names that appeared on the Medals and Top Five places on Sunday afternoon.
