Two years old fillies classes winners were Michałów-bred Gazal Al Shaqab’s daughters. Białka Spring Show Champion filly – Emandoria (out of Emanta) won with 92 pts beating Ejrene (out of Emocja) and Pistoria (out of Palmira) – both with 90,33 pts. However Polish National Junior Champion Filly title was given to Sefora, with Emandoria winning „only” the Reserve.
Both 4-6 years old female classes were won by Janów stud with the daughters of great Ecaho – Alhambra (out of Albigowa) – 91,33 pts, and Palmeta (out of Pilica) – 92. The rest of senior mare classes trophies belonged to Michałów-bred horses. The highest scored 7-10 years old mare was Emandoria’s dam – Emanda (also sired by Ecaho) – 93 pts and 11 years and older class winner became 19 years old Gaskonia. She was also the highest scored horse of the show – 93,67 pts and the only one that was given three times 20 for head and neck and movement.
