______________________________________________________________

At the age of 12, she started learning horse riding in a sports stable in Warsaw in Służewiec.

After turning 16, she moved to a racing stable. After only a year, she made her debut as an amateur rider in a race with professional jockeys.

After graduating from high school, she worked in the Selection Department at PTWK, worked and rode in a racing stable, took part in races (42 wins), and in the afternoons, as an instructor, she trained riders at the sports club (LOK). At the same time, she studied zootechnics in absentia.

After completing her studies in 1975, she became a trainer of racing horses at the track in Wrocław. Unfortunately, she had to end her equestrian career at the same time. In her first season as a trainer, she became the trainers' champion, and the horses she trained won all the biggest races at Partynice, including the Derby, Oaks and Wielka Wrocławska. After such a spectacular success, she was invited by the then director of PTWK to Warsaw and took over the stable in Służewiec.

She retired from coaching after the 2015 season.

In his nearly 40 years of working with racehorses, he really has something to boast about:
• She was voted Coach of the Year by the race reporters 3 times,
• nearly 2000 times the horses she trained crossed the finish line in first place,

In 2017, she was honored with the HH Sheikh Fatima Bint Mubarak Darley Awards for lifetime achievements in Arabian racehorse training. Unfortunately, she was unable to attend the award ceremony held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. The award was presented to Dorota in Służewiec, in the paddock before the Shannon Queen decoration after the Derby race on July 30.07.2017, XNUMX.
