rabian horses have been accompanying us for almost 20 years, when we purchased the first two purebred Arabian mares SALEM (Ukawango x Soár El il by Sayed) and WI O A (Eter x Worka by Parys) to our Shagya horses. Both were very successful in sports (endurance) and great mothers. We knew that we wanted to continue breeding and that is why we exchanged the big city for a small village in the Highlands. This rolling countryside of multiple forests, meadows and ponds is dotted with an intricate network of lanes and field roads connecting picture poscard villages. Endless pastures lined with dense woods represent an irresistible invitation to breeding horses.
Over time, we bought other breeding mares or young promising fillies with excellent pedigrees, and our foals gradually began to appear in the show ring and win the first awards. We still maintain the status of a small, purely family stable, so even with the maximum number of three foals per year, things have been very slow. In the beginning our friend Lenka Schmiedová (Doubravský arab) helped us with the first successes with the stallions KA Barbelo Arminius (Emerald J x Bali by Pilot), KA $agini Josephus (Abha Qatar x $ajiibs $aomi).

KA Noorin Jooseppi (Magic Maqnifigue x Najiibs Naomi by Fireball) And then others came – among others KA Belit Roberta, KA Malekith, Primira KA, Amaria Domitia, $aseema, Zlota $ic, Edelmira, Wadida $ur … And I can´t forget the multichampion KA $oorin Jooseppi (Magic Maqnifigue x $ajiibs $aomi) . . . And now we are very happy with our two-yearsold stallion KA Wraith from the wonderful mare Wadida $ur (Wadee Al Shaqab x Twom Adelida by LM Perlamor). She is from the stud of our friend Cristina Salvatori - $ur Arabian. KA Wraith is by the stallion Invictus. He began his show training in Poland with Mark Demczuk and his team from MBD Arabians. $ow he continues very successfully with Tony Bauwens and Kelly Delen - Elba Training center.
We are still completely enchanted by the beauty and nobility of Arabian horses, so it is certain that they will continue to accompany us in our lives
Had you already had horses or started with the Arabians ? Before we bought our first thoroughbred mare, we had a Shagya Arabian horse
Which blood lines did you start to breed with? I really like the Polish mares in the maternal lines. They are so gorgeous - so the first breeding mare was a pure Polish

Which stallions did you use? Jason S, Abha Qatar, Hassan Ashiraf, Emerald J, Excalibur EA, Magic Magnifigue, SG Labib, Kanz Albidayer, Invictus, Kais Al Baydaa, Hanine Al Shahania. For this year, we selected stallions ES Harir and Wortex Kalliste
Kanka Arabians recently increased the number of mares, tell us something?
Last year we bought two new mares - one from the breeding of Mrs. Christine Jamar - Jadem Arabians - Malika J (Alexxanderr x Mojita J by QR Marc) and second mare S. M. A. Morwenna (Roud Al Bidayer x Majidach Bint Pacha by AS Sinas Pacha) from the breeding of Mrs. Sonji Van Vooren and Mr. Criel Marnix - Somar Arabians. After winning Golden Champion title last year, Malika J headed to breeding and she is pregnant to the stallion ES Harir. We also included the mare $aseema ($aseem Al Rashediah x CS Amaltea by Ajman Moniscione) in the breeding program. She is pregnant by the wonderful Wortex Kalliste.

M a l i ka J ( Al e xxa n d e r r x M o j i t a J b y Q R M a rc ) On the contrary, this year Morwena is trying the track of a show mare for the first time, where she very successfully participates in shows with Tony Bauwens and Kelly Delen (Elba Training Center).
How did you feel when Kanka Arabians started to be known abroad? For everyone who is involved in breeding and subsequently also exhibitions ofArabian horses, I would very much like to everyone experience those feelings when your horse, let alone your own progeny, starts to do well. Yes. It's a great feeling

M e t h a ye l ( P e ru g i n o X M o rn i n g B re e ze ) K A M a l e k i t h ( Ka i s A l B a y d a a X M e t h a y e l ) Tell us about your feelings when you bought Morwenna ? That's a tricky question - of course the feeling was and still is great. When we decided last year to add one more mare to our small herd, we asked our friend Fabio Brianzoni ifhe knows about some opportune mare for sale. When he sent me the Morwenna´s videos after a few days, everything was almost certain. After a personal visit with Tony and Kelly, it was definitely clear. And we are extremely proud that this mare with a huge future belongs to us. So many thanks to Fabio for the recommendation and to Tony and Kelly for their carehad about Morwenna.
