Pjatakova

1992

(Balaton ex Popova by Naslednik)

Twice Austrian National Champion

British National Champion 2004

Pjatakova was bred by the Kossack Stud in Holland. Her dam, the famous Popova by Podsnejnik out of Poliana, is one of the most precious mares at the Kossack Stud. Popova was Nations Cup champion as a yearling and is one of the most successful straight Russian show mares in Europe. She has inspired all of those fortunate enough to see her in the flesh. Pjatakova's sire Balaton needs no introduction, the sire of World Champion Kubinec, Abakan, Balenina and lots more.

Pjatakova inherits her mothers beautifully refined head and fabulous elevated movement from the Salon line. Not only is she amazing to look at but she has a temperament to die for. She stands at a huge 15.3hh and yet retains her exquisite type and refinement.

Pjatakova is known in Austria as 'The Swan' because of her beauty and is as versatile as she is beautiful. She is the dam of 5 fillies and 3 colts to date, is a superb ridden horse in both Western and English disciplines and also remains a superb in hand show horse. She gained Austrian National Champion titles as a two year old and also as a four year old and was Reserve in 2001. BRITISH NATIONAL CHAMPION MARE was added to her long list of successes in 2004. Her first and only show in the UK with us.

Her daughter Moldavia, by TR Viktor, became Austrian National Reining Champion in 2004. Vienna Regional Reining Champion '04 and was 5th at the European Reining Championships - all this in only her first season!

Her outstanding son Phaaraoh stays with us as a future stallion prospect.

We chose Pjatakova because she exemplifies our ideal Arabian horse qualities and we hope to breed some equally beautiful babies from her in the future.
