On the occasion of celebrating 15 years of our presence online, we offer you the list of 15 most popular articles on polskiearaby.pl measured with the Facebook’s “likes”.* As the English list is different from the Polish one, we publish both rankings below.
The winner of the two lists is a 2014 text, in English, dedicated to the story of the stallion Bagdad: “Bagdad – a stallion that became part of a legend”. It gathered as many as 960 likes! The last English Top 15 text was published in 2018 and it got 188 likes (“Armand Hammer, buyer of El Paso, in the files of the Polish communist secret service”). On the top of the Polish list we find the 2015 reminiscent article about Pianissima: “Pianissima. Odejście ikony”, with 508 likes. Just behind him (491 likes) placed another text dedicated to the Janów famous mare – “Pianissima – pożegnanie legendy”, published just after she passed away. The Polish Top 15 list closes with a news from Paris 2018, with 127 likes (“Złoty Equator i platynowa Emandoria w Paryżu. Potentilla z najlepszym ruchem”).
In both rankings we find articles from different sections of our portal. The Polish list includes 5 texts from the Breeding section, 4 from News, 3 from People and horses, 2 from Shows and 1 from the Reading Room.
The English list consists of 7 texts from the Breeding section, 3 from People and horses, 3 from News and 2 from Shows.
