WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF ARABIAN
HORSES
attracts a big crowd in Paris
On the picture, ETERNITY IBN
NAVARRONE D was lord and master at Paris World Championship 2004
for the great happiness of his Belgian owners.
There is no doubt that the whole of Europe
attends this event every year at the “Porte de Versailles” and
this is comforting for an economic sector which has been in a
crisis state for numerous years. Among the big european horse
fairs, Paris has aquired its place alongside the “Fiera di
Verona” and the German “Equitana”. At very few other venues have
horse championship organisers had the opportunity of assembling
as enthusiastic and numerous a public as in Paris. This is why
this Arabians championship should become a perennial.
BEWARE !!
preserve the titles awarded
On the picture, SUNDOS AL NASSER
was bred in Qatar, a very emergent country in horse-business.
Born in 2001, the beautiful filly fullfilled the hopes of Sheikh
Ammar Al-Nuaimi.
The initiative of Morocco and the presence of
its faithful Ambassador Mr. Amid Abdelhamid of the Royal Stud of
Bouznika are to be greeted warmly as the big Arab horse-breeding
nations- mainly from the Gulf countries- are succeeding in their
efforts to polarise the quality of Arab show-horses. To such a
point that, this year, the main absentees were exactly these
Middle-East studs with Qatar leading. However, do you remember
what would have happened to Swiss watchmaking if firms like
SWATCH and the Hayek family notably had not been able to oppose
the conquiest of the market by the Japanese during the 70s ? It
was these same Japanese who, some years before, had come to
learn Swiss know-how . In the same way, Paris must succeed in
order to preserve the label “Arabians World Championship”,
without which this title may lose its value to the gain of
competitions organised in Qatar or in the United Arab Emirates
for example. The Paris of horseracing, which takes very good
care of its “Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe” knows this very well so
that this race does not lose its prestige to the profit of the
“Dubai World Cup”, the richest prized race in the world.
Belgium and Poland are celebrating
On the picture, WN FAWN
OBSESSION, International Champion Mare in the major events of
the Middle-East represented with dignity Al Khalidiah Stud Farm
of saudian prince Khaled bin Sultan, Himself present at Paris
Arabian Show.
What more beautiful present for Belgian
Arabians breeding could have been found than to have produced
the two World Champions in the male category !? The Senior World
Champion ETERNITY BIN NAVARRONE D bred by Martine and Paul
Despeghel-Van Hee, and the Junior World Champion NIJEM IBN
ETERNITY , also son of the predecessor, was
bred in Belgium by Mr.Smits.
Poland also saw unforgettable glory as the junior champion
PIANISSIMA was presented by its breeder, the Janow Podlaski
State Stud while another national Polish stud, the Michalow
State Stud was magnificently rewarded by the title of Senior
Vice-Champion awarded to EL DORADA.
Qualified as pratically “perfect” by the 5 international judges
with regards to its “type” and its “head” (she won also the Prix
Blancpain ,and the “Ferrero” for the most beautiful head)
PIANISSIMA outclassed her rivals in her class from her first
visit to the qualifying ring, with 469 points before repeating
it in the final with 21 points against 6 for SUNDOS AL NASSER
presented by Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi of the Emirates
and bred by Sheikh Nawaf bin Nasser Al Thani in Qatar.
We must also mention WN FAWN OBSESSION who, not being unknown on
the international scene, in her senior females category did very
well for her Saudi owner, Prince Khaled bin Sultan bin
Abdulaziz. This mare born in 1998 obtained the same number of
qualification points as the World Vice-Champion LOUBNA . A more
than deserved reward for the Saudi owner who sponsored one of
the finals of this World Championship along with Ajman Stud,
Egyptian Arabians Joseph, and the Racing Equestrian Club of
Qatar.
She deserves the title of the “best in show”
Johanna Ullström at the summit of her Art
On the picture, NIJEM IBN
ETERNITY already Nations Cup Junior Champion and European Junior
Champion this season 2004, NIJEM IBN ETERNITY established
his reputation with a title of World Junior Champion.
One of the most unforgetable things in this
2004 Championship was doubtlessly Johanna Ullström to whom it
would be just to dedicate the title of “best handler”. The young
Swedish woman is incontestably a leader in her profession and
some horse observers such as Jamil Boukarabila make elogies
about her: “this woman is dominant among the best international
handlers of the moment. A very great part of the success of the
horses that she presented is due to her ! She began with a
performance from anthology in front of the judges with NIJEM IBN
ETERNITY, performing a fantastic “placer” with no hesitation, in
a complete harmony with the horse, as only she has the secret.
Later, I saw her correct the bad ear positioning of PESAL as
nobody would have known to. Those are
details which make all the difference in the level of
classification.”.
