Slovenia is one of the newest Members of WAHO, with a relatively small number of Arabian horses at present, although the numbers are growing each year. In 2005 the Slovenian Arabian Breeders Association organised their first National Show for Arab horses. This pioneering show took place in Ljubljana on 6th of September 2005. A total of 32 horses of all categories – 11 males and 22 females were presented to the judges in front of a good crowd of spectators. The Breeders Association had decided in advance that the 2005 WAHO Trophy for Slovenia would be awarded to the best horse of this show, regardless of the category. The 2005 WAHO Trophy winner is therefore the ‘Best in Show’, being the lovely chestnut filly Pirueta-P, owned and bred by Gregor Pintar, one of the most enthusiastic members of the young Slovenian Arab Breeders Association.

This harmonious and good moving filly is of truly international bloodlines. Her dam is the German bred mare Piruna who was imported to Slovenia in 2002, by the Polish stallion Piruet (Probat / Pieczec) out of the Canadian mare, Into My Dream (Executive Class / Precious Me). Pirueta-P’s sire Piligrim, who was born in The Netherlands, is of Russian bloodlines (Balaton / Popova).
