Poltava Radiance (PL/US)
Radiance
Radiance is the horse we didn't plan for and couldn't be without. He was bred here at Red Canyon - Poltava Ekstern over our foundation mare Moonfire Cassandra - and from the moment he hit the ground it was clear he was exceptional. We held onto him, showed him lightly, and in 2023 he took the US National Championship.
He is a big, bold, bay stallion with an incredibly correct front end and the kind of movement that wins classes before the judge writes anything down. His first foal crop arrived in 2024 and the early results have exceeded our hopes. He carries the best of the Polish type - scope, athleticism, power - tempered by Cassandra's refinement and sensitivity.
Radiance is standing his second full breeding season. Enquire for breeding fee and available dates.

Radiance arrived in this ring and immediately changed the atmosphere. A big, bold, bay stallion with enormous presence. Head refined and typey with a pronounced dish and an eye that dominates the face. Neck long, arched, and set on beautifully. Shoulder well-laid into a deep, capacious chest. Back short and strong, topline a flowing, unbroken line. Hindquarters broad and powerfully muscled. Movement of the highest calibre — scopey, extravagant, and absolutely true. An outstanding young stallion. Champion without hesitation.

This young bay stallion has everything the Polish Arabian should possess. A head of real quality — refined, slightly dished, with an honest, forward-looking expression. Neck magnificently set, shoulder excellent. Body well-developed for his age with a short, strong back and well-sprung ribs. Hindquarters powerful and broad. He moved out with a natural extravagance that drew the eye repeatedly. Polish type at its finest. A future champion in the making.

A bay Polish stallion of outstanding scope and athleticism. Head refined and typey, good dish, large expressive eye, correct ear. Neck long and arched with excellent set-on. Shoulder well-laid, chest deep and broad. Short, level back leading to powerful, well-muscled hindquarters. Movement exceptional — extravagant trot with natural suspension, tail carried high and proudly. Unlucky to meet a very experienced champion today. Will be extremely hard to beat at the Nationals.

The undisputed star of this year's Nationals. A bay stallion of breathtaking quality — correct, balanced, and absolutely typey. Head refined with a beautiful dished profile, wide forehead, and an extraordinary dark eye full of presence and intelligence. Neck long and magnificently arched, set high on a well-angled shoulder. Back short and strong, topline impeccable from poll to tail. Hindquarters powerful and correctly angled, hocks well let down. His movement was a highlight of the show — enormous scope, elastic trot, tail flagged magnificently. Presented to perfection. An easy and unanimous decision. Congratulations to Red Canyon Arabians.
