Mares Championship in Aachen (1999). In 2000 - European Championships, in Polish colors - World Championships 2007. Sold for 1 EUR
Kwestura (Monogramm – Kwesta/Pesennik) was born on February 10, 1995 and already as a small foal attracted attention. She was very pretty, exceptionally kind and trusting, clinging to people. In the stable, she greeted us with a low neigh, hoping for a treat, a sugar cube or a piece of apple.
(...)
The fame that Kwestura gained in Paris prompted us to put the mare on the Pride of Poland auction in 2008.
Kwestura was led to the ring by Mariusz Liśkiewicz - the mare looked great being at the top of her form. She gave a wonderful spectacle, danced floating above the ground and delighted everyone.
The auction was exciting and the happy buyer was Ajman Stud from the United Arab Emirates, paying a record amount of EUR 1 for the mare.
Only in 2015 this record was broken by Pepita, Ekstern's daughter. Kwestura provided the parent stud with a great training center - a spacious hall and two stables with a total of 60 stalls. We call it the “Kwestury Centre”.
