SIRELINE ILDERIM d.b. 1894 imp. 1900 Sławuta

The most valuable of the Polish borderland studs, Sławuta, where the documented breeding of pure Arabian horses was conducted since 1799, regularly imported horses from the East.

From 1804, when the documents were preserved, until the end of the stud's existence in 1917, 73 stallions and 9 mares were imported to Sławuta. The most valuable of the imported stallions turned out to be Ilderim d.b. 1894, purchased in 1900, i.e. at a time when Sławuta was undoubtedly the best stud breeding Arabian horses in Europe. Sławuck horses were famous for their quality, and at shows in Kiev, Moscow, Vienna and Paris, they received the highest awards, thanks to which Sławuck horses were willingly bought for other breedings.

It is thanks to the numerous sales of breeding horses from Sławuta, the stallion Ilderim d.b. we managed to establish our own male family, which fortunately survived all the turmoil of war and is still active in Polish breeding. Ilderim was a noble and beautiful horse, with an excellent typical build, dry, well-bound, deep, only 145 cm tall, but broad for his height, with regular, long, light and perfect movements.

Unfortunately, Sławuta was completely destroyed in 1917 during the Bolshevik revolution, and the fate of the stud was also shared by its last owner, Prince Roman Damian Eustachy Sanguszko, killed by the Bolsheviks on the doorstep of his own home.

The most valuable son of Ilderim d.b. It turned out to be Bakszysz, gray 1901 Ilderim d.b.-Parada by Rymnik, bred by Sławuta, very noble, with a lot of type, short-legged stallion, with a well-placed shoulder blade, a well-developed back, well-developed croup, perfect leg posture, very correct and sliding motion. He had a lot of vital strength and transferred his qualities well to his offspring (dimensions 145,168,18,5). Before the First World War, he was sold to Austria and stood at the central stallion station in Drohowyż. Then he was transferred to Sądowa Wisznia and from there he was taken to Janów in 1919. This very lively stallion lived to the age of 30.

Bakszysz's mother, Parada, was a daughter of the precious Rymnik 1876, who has a horse of the same size in the 2nd generation as Koheilan Abu-Argub d.b., o. In the 3rd generation of Rymnik, there is the stallion Seglavi Ardżebi d.b., who was , of correct construction and very noble. Rymnik became famous as the father of perfect mares, mothers of the stallions: Jaskółka 1891- gave Skowronka 1909, Parada 1895 - Bakszysza 1901 and Delia 1884 - Mazepa 1892. All three stallions, Rymnik's grandsons, even though they came from such different fathers, gave very valuable offspring.

Bakszysz started his breeding activity in the purebred department in 1920 in Janów, that is only at the age of 19, where he covered mares until 1923 inclusive and gave very valuable offspring here, referred to by Roman Pankiewicz; From those years, he left 10 great mares with Elegantka 1923, the pearl of Polish breeding. In the years 1924-1928, he covered mares bred in pure blood at Marian Zakrocki's stud in Chrząstów, and in 1929 he would return to Janów for another year, but the progeny from this breeding farm did not equal the previous value.

Apart from perfect mares, Bakszysz left four sons in Janów.

Flisak, gray 1924 (Bakszysz-Elstera by Ibrahim d.b.) - despite the shortcomings in type, as a brave horse (winner of the Derby) was used in Janów in 1930, where he mated three mares, giving, among others, Mokka 1931 (dam of the horse exported to the USA in 1945 the stallion Lotnik). In the years 1931-1932 Flisak was a sire in Pełkinie, and in 1939-1940 in Sambork, a place where the Germans grouped mares that had been previously removed from Janów, confiscated from private breeding.

Fakir, chest. 1924 (Bakszysz-Hermitka by Hermit d.b.) bred in private studs: Beheń, Niskołyzy and Wysuczka, but he left nothing of value.

Floks, gray 1924 (Bakszysz-Kalina by Ibrahim d.b.) was used on a small scale in Bronki in 1929, and then in 1941-1942 in Kraśnica.

Fetysz turned out to be the most valuable son of Bakszysz.

Fetysz, gray 1924 (Siglavi Baghdady by Siglavi Baghdady d.b.), decided to extend this family. He was a typical representative of the breed and a horse of high species, exceptionally noble, handsome and dry, with perfect movement, measuring 153 cm. Fetysz distinguished himself by racing prowess, winning 3 races, during which he won the sum of 10 510 PLN, which was impressive at that time. Fetysz began his stud career in Gumniska, where he became mares in 1929, leaving two mares, which, however, were sold to Gumniska by racing mares from France. In the years 1930-1932 he hid Fetysz in Janów. He bred valuable mares there, with Makata 1931 (out of Gazella II) damaging the stallion Witraż 1938 (Ofir-Makata by Fetysz). In total, in the Polish Arabian horse breeding Fetysz left 11 mares used in breeding

.

Fetysz also left in Janów two stallions that were subsequently used in pure Arabian breeding, i.e. the stallions Miecznik and Orjent, as well as the half-bred stallion Marosz, who founded his own lineage in the USSR in the section of Arabian horses.

Fetysz was also eagerly used by private breeders. In the breeding of Bogna Przegalińska (Sobota p. Łowicz) he gave the stallion Ferencz, gray 1932 out of Gitan by Burgas. This stallion was taken to Germany during the war, where he covered, and returned to Poland as part of restitution in 1947.

In the years 1933-1935 Fetysz was used in another private stud; Ujazd, where his next son comes from, the stallion Adonach 1936 (Fasila by Rasim). This stallion was used in Germany after the war in breeding Trakehner horses - in the years 1954-1964.

In 1936, Fetysz was sold to the famous stud in Trakenach, where it operated until its liquidation in 1944. As the breed was also kept purebred mares, Fetysz had the opportunity to prove himself there, giving the stallion Don Rodrigo 1943 gray-from The mare Dangola oo, which was bred in Poland after the war, and was placed in the SO Książ. Fetysz in a half-blood breeding in Trakenach left numerous excellent sons and founded his own male line, which functions in the Trakehner breed to this day.

One of the two Janów sons of Fetysz was Orjent, gray 1933 (Fetysz-Hebda by Hermit), who covered only a few mares: in 1937 in Beheń and Mirki, and in 1940-1943 in Dobróżek and Radków. The offspring from these breeding farms disappeared during the war, and Orjent himself, although fortunately surviving, was not used in breeding after the war.

On the other hand, the aforementioned son of Fetysz Miecznik made a great contribution in breeding.

Miecznik, gray 1931 (Fetysz-Koalicja by Koheilan IV), who started his herding career in 1939 at the Opłytna stud and mated there until 1941. His first offspring turned out to be interesting, and these were mares: Mabruta 1940, Sabda 1940 and Panika 1941, which fortunately survived the war and started their own families. Miecznik was taken to Germany together with other Polish horses and became the father of the mare Wierka 1944 and Zalma 1944, which the Americans treated as war spoils and ended up in the USA after the war. From 1948, Miecznik covered mares in Klemensów. The three sons of Miecznik were used in breeding; Marabut, Doktryner and Aquinor. Marabut, chest. 1942 (Miecznik-Maja by Nemer) born in Opłytna were Polish mares residing in Germany. Out of the three foals born to him, his daughters were used for breeding: Gałka 1946, an oaks player sold to the GDR, and Gastronomia 1946, mother of mares and stallions distinguished in breeding (including the stallion Gedymin 1968). Doktryner, gray 1950 (Miecznik-Blaga by Kuhailan Zaid d.b.) born in Klemensów, according to Pankiewicz; he was a real horse, deep, massive, well-ribbed, with a strong underside. He did not match his father's beauty. In the years 1954-1956 Doktryner was used in Michałów and in 1965-1967 in Janów. He left 19 mares and 5 stallions in Polish breeding, including the one used in breeding Ferrum, c. 1957 (Doktryner-Forta after Kuhailan Abu Urkub). Ferrum was born in Michałów, where he was also used in breeding in 1961-1962 and 1964. He left 5 daughters, one of whom Cerkaria 1965 won Oaks and remained in breeding.

The continuator of the Ilderima d.b. family. The third son of Miecznik - Aquinor turned out to be.

Aquinor, gray 1951 (Swordfish - Amneris by Amurath Sahib). Pankiewicz argued that; its genotype was more valuable than the phenotype. Aquinor represented rather the type of a real horse (pronounced 152-179-19), correct build, not distinguished by outstanding beauty, but he had it coded and passed it on. He produced many more beautiful horses, such as: Elkana 1969 - US and Canada champion, Elkin 1966 - US and Canada champion. Aquinor represented mares in Janów in 1960-1966 and in Michałów in 1967-1968. In total, he left 14 mares and 6 stallions, of which in Poland Eleuzis, born in Janów, finally extended the family.

Eleuzis, gray 1962 (Aquinor-Ellenai by Wielki Szlem), is a fine, caliber stallion (153-180-19), with a typical head and good movement, but lacking dryness. He was mares in Janów in 1969-1970, and then in 1971. was sold to the USA (he won the Canadian Reserve Championship). He left 4 mares and 5 stallions in the breeding, of which Engano and Partner were used in breeding.

Engano, gray 1970 (Eleusis-Engracja after Comet) was dry, handsome with a showy movement. In 1978 he won the title of European Champion. In the years 1975-1977 he was a mares in Janów. He left 5 mares, among which was Saszetka 1977, which won the Oaks and the Derby.

Partner, gray 1970 (Eleuzis-parma by Aswan) was a large-frame horse (152-178-19.0), but not very dry and with a bit too short rump. The long neck and impressive movement did not cover the impression that it is rather a semi-Arabian horse. In the years 1974-1978 he was the leading stallion in Janów, in the years 1979-1981 in Michałów, and after a two-year lease to Sweden, in 1984, for two years to Kurozwęki. The next years 1987-1988 Partner mated mares in Janów and in the years 1989-1990 he was the leading stallion in the newly established stud in Białka District Court. In his career, Partner won the titles of Polish Reserve Champion (1979) and European Reserve Champion (Paris 1979). He left a number of sons in breeding, of which only a small extent was used the stallion Fantastyk (Fart) 1978 out of Farida, who had no influence on breeding, while two others; Penitent and Pesal produced male offspring and extended the lineage by creating their own branching lines.

Penitent, gray-haired 1979 (Partner-Penza by Faher), born in Janów. It was a horse in large frames (153-175-18.8) with excellent movement and dry tissue that distinguished it. In 1985 he won the title of the Polish champion. As Roman Pankiewicz wrote about him: This horse can show itself phenomenally. The head lifted high, the outstanding movement with the characteristic high elevation of the front legs gives the impression that at some point it will tear itself off the ground and lift it up into the skies... A horse with all chances for the world championship in Paris. Unfortunately, it does not tolerate transport well, which may destroy the chance.

Penitent was undoubtedly an exceptional horse, as from such a small number of offspring he had left behind in Poland, peculiar dynasties of show horses were born; but it cannot be forgotten that it was a horse combining beauty and bravery, which he passed on to future generations. It is enough to mention, for example, the Derby stallion Egis or the winner of the Oaks award, the mare Dracena from Dymisja to Probat.

The daughters left by the Penitent in Polish breeding are; Kawalkada 1986 - US Champion, Dracena 1988, Palba 1985 and Palestra 1986 - Amman Show Champion.

Despite a relatively short breeding career in Poland, since Penitent was sold to the USA in 1988, he excellently enrolled in breeding, producing a number of valuable mares. His sons Egis and Eldon also extended the lineage.

Egis, gray 1985 (out of Estrada by Burkan), bred by Michałów Stud, won the Derby and the Bandos Award in 1989 and was sold to Great Britain without being used in Polish breeding. There he also leaves the stallion Hazz, gray 1994 (Egis out of Promise of Pleasure by Sha'ir), bred by P.J. Maxwell. Egis is finally used in Russia, where he is stalling the leading stallion at the Khrenovoye stud. It is used extensively there and produces a number of excellent horses. Bred with Kazna by Anchar five times, he also becomes the father of Kurier.

The main need to preserve this family, which is no longer represented in large numbers in Poland, and the Penitent's line lacks male offspring in class, resulted in its lease in 2017-2018 for use on mares in Michałów.

Kurier, gray 2003 (Egis-Kazna by Anchar), bred by Chrenowoje, is the only son of Egis in Russian breeding. Athletic stallion, properly built, height 159 cm and high legged, proportionate and short loins in the classic hadban type. His mother Kazna - won the Mammony Award - is one of the best mares at the Chrenowoje stud, the mother (in total gave birth to 12 descendants) of many brave horses on racing tracks; Kazbek by Benedick, known in Poland, is also her son. It was combined 5x with Egis, in addition to the Courier, it also gave the excellent Karmel and the rally Klerk 2001. During his racing career, the Courier ran 27 times (9-5-3-3), of which he won 9 times, including for the Naseem Award and the Prize Aswan, and in the Moscow Derby he is 3rd.

Due to its outstanding racing prowess, in Michałów it is mainly used for covering mares with racing predispositions. It shows a gentle character and mobility. The desired pedigree of the Courier, due to the intention to obtain a continuator of the family, means that he also received a few mares of outstanding beauty for mating. From this combination, the promising Gibraltar 2018 (Kurier-Gardeja by Eskulap) and Clavado, gn. 2019 (Kurier-Cheronea by QR Marc).

Among the male offspring of Kurier, the private-bred Gandawiano, gray 2019 (Kurier-Gandawa by Eldon), bred by Ryszard Zieliński, stands out. His dam, the mare Gandawa bred from Michałów, is the daughter of the stallion Eldon, thanks to which Gandawiano (like his brother Gandawar, who is a full year older than him), is bred to Penitent, which in the future, apart from a promising phenotype and genetic bravery, may turn out to be an advantage of this stallion in breeding.

Penitentin Michałów, apart from Egis, gave another son named Eldon, without whom it is difficult to imagine Polish breeding today.

Eldon, gray 1986 (Penitent - Erotyka by Eufrat), inherited from his father the caliber and expressive and prominent movement. The stallion of Saklavian type and pedigree, enchanted with the beauty of the judges, winning the title of European Champion 4 years after his father in 1991. A year later, he won the highest laurel in Janów Podlaski, becoming the Polish Champion, and the following year at he won the title of British Reserve Champion. The legacy of this stallion is unbelievably rich and has given over two hundred foals! Two sons of Eldon are Derby winners: in 2001 Janów's Espadero, gray 1997 (Eldon-Esparceta by Fawor) and in 2006 breeding Tarus Arabians Eliat, gray 2002 (Eldon-Eleuzyna by Wermut). The family was continued by Janów's Piaff, born to one of the most beautiful mares of this stud, Pipi. Eldon also left valuable daughters, including mares such as Epruwetka 1993, Persenkówka 1993 and Anegdota 1997.

Piaff, gray 1997 (Eldon out of Pipi by Banat), who, like his father and grandfather, combines beauty with bravery. He ran on the track for 2 seasons, taking part in 20 races and winning two of them. In 2005, he won the title of Polish Senior Champion Stallion in Janów Podlaski, and in 2007 he showed his skills perfectly under the saddle, winning the title of the Scottsdale Arabian Show Reserve Champion in the Sport Horse In-Hand Stallion category. Also in Poland, he successfully took part in competitions under the saddle in Janów. While Piaff gave several valuable mares for breeding, he left middle-class stallions as successors; Alert and Albedo, both bred by Janów Podlaski and Echo Apollo 2006 (Piaff-Echo Kalisto by Pamir) bred by Chrcynno-Pałac Stud. Alert and Albedo were used in breeding quite widely (Michałów), with only Albedo leaving one valuable mare, and Echo Apollo was sold abroad without wider use in breeding. Albedo was also not used in breeding, it was sold in the country.

Alert, gray 2005 (Piaff - Andalusia by Sanadik El Shaklan), who was born in Janów Podlaski, initially raised a lot of hope for the future continuation of the male line Ilderim d.b. - winning the title of Polish Junior Stallion Champion and the title of the Top Five of the European Junior Championship in 2006. Unfortunately, these hopes have so far failed.

Palert, by Ewa Imielska-Hebda

Palert is a young stallion with an interesting pedigree. Palert's mother, Pericola, was purchased from Janów to Białka in 2017 and included in the Białka herd, where she produced the stallion Palert. His mather Pilarosa , was the only daughter of the stallion  Al Adeed Al Shaqab in Poland, which gives Palert's pedigree an interesting character with a small amount of Egyptian blood. Also, the paternal grandmother, Janów's Andaluzja, daughter of the outstanding stallion Sanadik El Shaklan, who brings beauty and desirable show qualities, means that Palert should meet the requirements for the successor of the Ilderima family. Palert is a stallion with a correct build, well bonded, with a figure typical of his lineage, characterized by a good topline, correct limb structure and a small, shapely head with a wide forehead and beautiful dark eyes. . Used as a sire in Białka in the years 2021-2024, Palert produced several male descendants who are another chance to extend the lineage. Palert represents a branch of the Ilderim or male line. ar., extended thanks to the stallions Partner-Penitent-Eldon-Piaff-Alert-Palert.

Albedo, sk.gn. 2006 (Piaff-Albigowa by Fawor) in the 2011 and 2012 season he was in Michałów. He covered a lot of mares, but only the average Wkraza 2012 and the good Elissima 2013 out of Embla, were included in the breeding. As too little typical, sold without further use.

Partner's second son who extended the family is Pesal. Interestingly, the age difference between Penitent (1979) and Pesal (1991), amounting to 12 years, is a great example of the patience in working with male families, which characterized breeders at the time and was later abandoned.

Pesal, gray 1991 (Partner - Perforacja by Ernal), comes from a very valuable family of the female mare Szamrajówka 1810, which has already produced a number of stallions. He was characterized by a characteristic beauty, thanks to which he was recognizable from a distance. Pesal definitely stood out for its outstanding Saklavian type with a slight hint of femininity. Nevertheless, he was an extremely correct and correct stallion, with a perfect Arabian bouquet and a tendency to fatness, characteristic of this family. Early on, it was a milky white shade of gray against which the large black eyes stood out clearly. A short head, with a deep ganache, a beautiful bow of the neck and an effective movement - with a triumphantly flapping tail and a characteristic blown mane, these were his trademarks.

At the Junior Spring Show in Michałów, the two-year-old Pesal, as the first Białka bred horse, not only won his class, but also the Polish Junior Championship. Pesala's sophisticated beauty was accompanied by a friendly and gentle character. He was credited with being overly gentle and even "feminine", but he ran for two seasons on the track and won two races. After the bravery test, he achieved even better show results - in 1996 the Polish Reserve Championship and the Nations Cup in Aachen, and in 1997 the Polish Championship and Best In Show.

In 1996 he was incorporated into breeding, used in Białka, Michałów and Tarus Arabians. Pesal left the mare Złota Orda, 1999 (Pesal-Zagrobla by Monogramm) in Michałów, the dam of Złoty Medal and the grandmother of the 2020 European Junior Reserve Champion, the stallion Ptolemeusz, gray 2018. By hiding mares from private breeders, Pesal left excellent gray daughters like Bagatela, 2001 from Braminek to Elef, Filipinka, 2001 out of Flecistka by Endel, Wiola da Gamba 2001 out of Visit by Wermut and one of his best sons, Girlan Bey.

Girlan Bey, gray 2002 (out of Gracja-Bis), bred by PP. Bogajewiczów, SK Niewierz is the Polish Junior Champion and the Junior World Reserve Champion Stallion. Girlan Bey, winning in 2003 in the Polish Junior Championship, was the first winner of this title of breeding and private ownership after World War II. It should also be emphasized that the breeding of the stallion Girlan Bey by M. Bogajewicz was the crowning achievement of his breeding path, because the dam of Girlan Bey, mare Gracja-Bis 1995 (Monogramm-Grenada by Set), was bred and owned by M. Bogajewicz. Girlan Bey, unfortunately, used on a small scale in Poland, was not left to be seen hare offspring.

In total, Pesal sired 124 offspring in Poland, to whom he mostly passed on the beauty, good character and gray color model in terms of which he was homozygous - his foals were mostly white under their mothers.

In 2003, Pesal was sold to Klarenbeek stud in the Netherlands, where he won the national championship, but in 2005 he returned to Poland on lease. He was used in Janów Podlaski and, as it were, "thrown on the tape" he got the best Janów mare of outstanding beauty - Palmeta. This combination gave birth to another, after Piaffa, continuator of the family, this time gray Palatino in the Pesala line.

Palatino, gray 2006 (from Palmeta by Ecaho). Thanks to outstanding ancestors, both on the part of the father and mother of Palmeta, it presents a type of horse that is increasingly rare today, with a classic Polish pedigree and features that characterize Polish Arabians: an Arab bouquet which is the result of spectacular gaits, a swan neck and a magnificent tail drop, and a dark eye with a beautiful head and dry constitution. . He also turned out to be brave; running even better than his father, and with beauty reminiscent of titled parents - in 2012 Polish Senior Champion Stallion, and in 2014 European Cup Champion in Prague. Its good character is confirmed by many years of use and competitions in sports competitions for Arabian horses and many successes. The dam of Palatino is one of the brightest stars of the Janów stud, the mare Palmeta 2001 (Ecaho-Pilica by Fawor) Polish Junior Champion and Best in Show from 2003, and the Polish Senior Champion Mare and Best in Show from 2012, awarded in 2015 with the prestigious WAHO Award. Palmeta, one of the most outstanding female representatives of the Szamrajówka 1810 female family, turned out to be the mother of the champions (Palatino by Pesal, Palabra by Enzo, Palatina by QR Marc, Patria by Eden C and Paris by Kahil Al Shaqab). Palatino inherited from both his parents the beauty and a certain type of Saklavian beauty characteristic of Polish horses, but it seems that despite his show successes, he did not come across a good time when fashionable foreign show stallions came to the fore. Representing a real and deep type of horse, he is currently standing in the stall of his parent stud, almost unused in breeding. Palatino was used in the 2022 season at the Białka Stud Farm, where he produced several interesting fillies and the promising colt Pilawita 2023 out of  Pericola (mather of Palert). In the 2023 season, Palatino was also used on several mares in Michałów.

The family of the stallion Ilderim d.b. 1894, imp. 1900 Sławut, who played a very important role in Polish breeding, thanks to his excellent representatives, is currently represented only by a branch led by the Partner, so few that it should be considered him endangered. It is true that in the stables of the state studs there are continuators of the family, i.e. Piaff, with his son Alert and Palatino, but these stallions are no longer used in breeding due to their enthusiasm for foreign stallions and the lack of spectacular show offspring. While Piaff has already fulfilled his duty, leaving Alert, taking into account Alert's age - born in 2005, as well as the chance he was given by hiding mares in Michałów; either the stallion did not find the right combinations or he is not able to give a better successor and the extension of the stallion by this stallion should not be expected too much. Used as a sire in Białka Stud in the years 2021-2024, Palert gave several male descendants who are another chance to extend the line Ilderim db.. Palert represents a branch of the Ilderim db., extended thanks to the stallions Partner-Penitent-Eldon-Piaff-Alert-Palert.

On the other hand, Palatino, having great breeding potential in phenotype and pedigree, being the son of one of the most beautiful Janów mares, has no chance to prove himself because he is not allowed to breed in his home stud. However, the example of successes at Middle Eastern shows of the Janów-bred daughter of Palatino mare Estonia2015 indicates the enormous potential of this stallion. It can also be assumed that the Janów mare herd is not suitable for Palatino and that one should look for mares of foreign breeding, including those in private breeding. We still have to wait a few more years for the effects of using the stallion Kurier in Polish breeding, but his growing male offspring gives little hope for success and continuation of the family.
