Her alluring beauty is without equal - PIANISSIMA now exemplifies the ultimate in exotic Arabian type, feminine refinement, and regal presence for the Arabian mare.  Her head, perfectly placed on an upright, gracefully designed forehand, has set the standard as the Arabian ideal - dark luminous eyes, large capacious nostrils, a tapering muzzle, black vascular skin, a broad forehead, deep round jowls, with dry refined elegance and the most extreme and delicate dish imaginable. These transcendent qualities are generously enhanced with harmonious balance, superb structure, strength of coupling, maternal substance and capacity, a breed standard topline, brilliant tail carriage and a graceful, energetic & animated trot.

Every judge, breeder, trainer, exhibitor and enthusiast that has had the privilege to witness PIANISSIMA up close and personal has been completely enchanted by her transcendent beauty and radiant presence.  Since her show ring debut as a yearling, PIANISSIMA has been the defining the standard the world over as World, European, All Nations Cup, US National, Polish National, and Al Khalediah International Champion. Not only is she the only mare ever in the history of the breed to be named twice European Triple Crown winner (in Aachen, Moorsele & Paris) as well as Polish National Junior Champion/Best in Show as both a junior and senior mare, she is the only Arabian ever to claim all titles in the same year (2004 & 2008) and on every occasion by unanimous decision. The most prestigious titles in the world claimed with ease by five years of age...

Genetically, PIANISSIMA is blessed with the best of world class Polish & Egyptian breeding - legendary luminaries such as NAZEER, EUKALIPTUS, RUMINAJA ALI, BANDOS, SHAIKH AL BADI, COMET, ASWAN, NABOR, ELLORA, AQUINOR, ANSATA IBN HALIMA, BANDOLA and DEENA all figure prominently in her illustrious heritage. Most importantly, PIANISSIMA is the modern incarnation and evolution of her two most famous ancestresses: paternal grand dam KAJORA - US National Champion Mare, meanwhile with her home in Qatar at famous Al Shaqab Stud; and maternal great-grand dam PILARKA - twice World and European Champion Mare - both archetypal Arabian mares as show horses and as aristocrat dams of immeasurable worldwide significance.

PIANISSIMA represents the ultimate breeding achievement for Janow Podlaski and Director Marek Trela. Much is expected of her to lead the way for greater accolades and progress for generations to come as we look to her to ensure the success and the enduring legacy of the Arabian breed worldwide.
