Gilza

With an elegant presence and balanced conformation, Gilza represents the strength and sophistication that has long defined the Polish Arabian breed. From her promising early performances in the show ring to her extraordinary pedigree, Gilza is a mare of both substance and style—one whose future appears as bright as her bloodlines are deep.

Her sire, the bay stallion Elrond, brings forward some of the most celebrated names in Polish Arabian history. Elrond is sired by the legendary *Wojsław, one of the most influential sons of *Tallin, known for producing progeny with exceptional athleticism, charisma, and powerful, ground-covering movement. Elrond’s dam, Mitrega, adds further strength to this lineage, contributing both type and temperament. On her dam's side, Gilza is out of Gazella, a mare whose pedigree adds yet another layer of distinction. Gazella is a daughter of *Algomej, a stallion respected for passing on soundness, elegance, and a willing disposition—qualities crucial in both the breeding barn and the performance arena. Gazella’s dam line traces back to Gildia and ultimately to the iconic stallion *Monogramm, one of the most celebrated Polish sires of the modern era.

*Monogramm’s influence in Gilza’s pedigree is especially significant. Imported to Poland in the early 1990s, Monogramm revolutionized the Polish breeding program with his striking type and powerful, expressive movement. His daughters became internationally sought-after broodmares, known for producing champions in both halter and performance. The presence of Monogramm in Gilza’s maternal line hints at her potential not just in competition but also as a future foundation mare.

Gilza has already made her mark in the show ring, earning recognition in a range of young horse and halter classes. She was named Champion in the Arabian & Half-Arabian Youngstock division at the prestigious AHS Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show and also took top honors in the Arabian Fillies class at the YHA Violet Promise Show. Her ability to stand out among her peers so early in life is a testament to both her conformation and presence. Additionally, her Reserve Champion titles in categories such as Suitable for Eventing and Future Event Horse classes highlight her versatility and promise as a multi-disciplinary competitor.

As she matures, Gilza is expected to develop into an exceptional sport horse. With her strong hindquarters, elegant topline, and expressive movement, she is ideally suited for the demands of eventing—bringing together agility, bravery, and finesse across all three phases. Her pedigree provides not only the physical attributes required for success, but also the mental fortitude and work ethic that are so deeply embedded in the Polish Arabian tradition.

Gilza is a young mare whose combination of proven bloodlines and early success make her a rising star at Green Gate Farm. Whether in the show ring, on the cross-country course, or one day in the breeding shed, she stands ready to carry forward the legacy of the great horses behind her—refined, powerful, and uniquely Polish.
