My equestrian adventure started at age 5 in 1997. For a year I was attending riding lessons in local riders club called Pa-ta-taj. Then I decided to move to the stable closer to my house in Pęcice near Warsaw, where, until 9 year old, I have been regularly taught horse riding under supervision of the instructor on my own horse Farmer.
In 2001, at the age of 9 I transferred to one of the local sport clubs SKJ Trawers Warszawa. As its member since 2002, I started to compete in regional level competitions. Supervised by 2nd class trainer Barbara Niemczewska, 2nd class trainer Dorota Sieńko and 1st class trainer Piotr Piasecki, I started to take part in all three equestrian disciplines: dressage, eventing and show jumping. I started competing in pony category, every year on a different pony:
- Black Princess ( Group A2)
- Grange Surf Sparkle ( Group A2: PonyPolish Cup - gold medal in Show Jumping )
- Błyskawica (Group C: Pony Polish Cup gold medal In Eventing, Pony Polish Cup silver medal in Ponies Show Jumping, 2 Polish Championships bronze medals of Younger Juniors In Eventing and Show Jumping. Also first place In Grand Prix C group on CSIP-JYR Pony Heroutice)
- Milford Duszka (Group D: Pony Polish Cup bronze medal in Show Jumping and 2 Polish Championships bronze medals of Younger Juniors In Show Jumping)
- Ensilla (Group D: 2 Pony Polish Cup bronze medals In Show Jumping. This pony has been sold to the dutch stable “Stal Johan Laseur” where during European Pony Championships in Jaszkowo starting under Megan Laseur they won bronze team medal )
Over the years of pony career I have been chosen to the Polish National Team. One year in Eventing and then two years in Show Jumping.
I also took part In dressage competition, on my own horse Victoria 61. Together, in 2008 we managed to achieve Warsaw and Mazovia Championships silver medal.
With pony Ensilla i was also competing on Junior level In show Jumping, taking part in contests above 130 cm. During ZO*** in Kuźnia Nowowiejska we took 3rd place in Junior Final Round 145cm.
In 2008, I entered into an agreement under which I got two horses for Shows. Quentin, on which I was able to start in 130/135 cm, and a young gelding Egoist. Egoist I prepared y myself from scratch to competitions Grand Prix class in Show Jumping. Egoist began regular starts since first competition in the class LL (80cm) at the regional competition in Kuźnia Nowowiejska (January 2009), so in December of the same year he took 2nd place in the National Sport Horse Show (130cm). In 2010. With this horse I gained Indoor Warsaw and Mazovia Championships bronze medal Senior Category and Championships of Warsaw and Mazovia silver medal in the senior category. 7 year old Egoist was also the youngest horse during Polish Junior Championships in Warka Sielanka in 2010 where we won 5th place.
In 2011, Egoist started to compete regularly in competitions 140 / 145cm on national level. I got the 2nd place in the Grand Prix ZO 3* Legia Warsaw Memorial General Gilarski, 7th place in the Grand Prix ZOO3 * Warka Sielanka and 12th in Polish Championship Young Riders category in Olsza (150cm).
Due to the difficult studies (International Relations Asian Studies) in 2013 I limited the starts to 130cm level. In 2014,with Egoist I started again to successfully take part in Grand Prix competitions winning 3rd place in the National Competition in Machnice.
Right before entering the CSI Cavaliada Tour, Egoist has been sold to USA - Los Angeles, where he is continuing his sport horse career.
Right after the sell i was lucky to get another fantastic horses. One of them is amazing 7 yo mare Tokajer 8 ( Tinka's Boy x Acord II). In March 2015 I won on her Senior Show Jumping Indoor Championships in Aromer ( 130cm). The whole year was full of successes among which was a victory in Middle Round during CSN In KKJK Michałowice Cracow (135/140cm), Second place in the same Round and place, however during Indoor season and 2nd place during Warka Sielanka Cup. In the meantime there have been many won regional Shows of 135 cm. We finished the season with very good start in CSI1*YH Cavaliada in December 2015. Good Rounds, gave the result of 9th place among 98 horses.
During 2015 I had the opportunity to work with some young horses, that were being prepared for sale. Carpediem K, a 4 yo stallion (Catalido I x Catoki) was sold to Denmark and Stanford ( Sir Shutterfly x Sherlock Holmes), a horse that was sold to a young rider in Poland.
