Perfect is the third Polish horse to win the American golden triple crown. After Janów's Pogrom and Michałów's Wieża Mocy, it was time for Perfinka from Białka.

From the remaining offspring of Perforacja, numbering 15 animals, the most valuable turned out to be Perfirka p. 2003 (by Gazal Al Shaqab), also gray in a beautiful hreka and dry as pepper. In 2014 she was sold to the USA, where - in foreign hands, but still a living advertisement of Polish breeding - in 2016. won the Scottsdale Classic Senior Mare Championship, the second most prestigious American show after the US National Championships. Three daughters remained in her hometown of Białka - Parilla gn. 2009 (after Enzo), Perforia gn. 2013 (after Vitorio T.O.) and the best – Perfinka p. 2011 (by Esparto).

When pronouncing her name, a rhyme suggests itself: "Perfinka - girl"! There is something about her that cannot be described in any other way than "girlish charm". It consists of the "curious" look of large, black eyes in a small, dry head; and a long, slender, high-set neck; and the topline like an "ironing board", ending in a high-set and gaily waving tail; but above all – movement!

As you can see, this whole family group is characterized by a showy and effective show movement, passed down from generation to generation, but the movement Perfect is unique and incomparable. For she does not move, but dances! He runs into the show ring with a dance step, his feet hardly touching the ground. No wonder that he charms almost all judges. She started as a yearling, winning her class at the 2012 Junior Spring Show.

In the same year, she won the Top Ten Yearling Mares at the World Championships in Paris. And then it all went downhill. 2013 – Reserve World, European and Polish Junior Mare Championships, Nations Cup Junior Mare Championships in Aachen; 2014 – PSAIAHF Championships in Saudi Arabia, April 2019 – Las Vegas Breeders Cup Championships and finally, the crowning achievement – ​​the US National Championships on November 25, 2019! Fortunately, she is only leased there, and these days she was preparing to perform in Scottsdale (13-23.02.2020), where her mother triumphed. The performance was as expected – she unanimously won her age class (8-year-old and older mares), and on the last day of the show – the Senior Mare Championships, which together gives the American “Triple Crown”!

The strenuous training took a toll on her condition, but that's what models and finalists of "Miss" competitions usually look like, and let her return to her mother herd, her guardians will feed her!
