Huculs for the Ukrainian President

On February 4th, at the Łazienki Park stables, Polish President Bronisław Komorowski surprised Ukrainian head of state Viktor Yanukovych with a valuable gift – two Hucul ponies with a Polish pedigree.

Rochacz and Laguna are horses especially selected from a Polish breed to be a good addition to and enrich the Ukrainian breed and to bring about a closer cooperation of Hucul breeders from Poland and Ukraine.

For centuries, the Hucul pony has not only enabled communication between the inhabitants of the whole Carpathian Mountains region, but has also played an important role in integrating the Lemkos, Boykos, Hutsuls and the Pogórzanie. Today, Hucul ponies, due to their gentle disposition, are often recommended for therapeutic work with ailing children.

The world of the Rémy Martin cognac

Rémy Martin XO Excellence is a cognac with an aroma of candied fruit, walnuts and cinnamon as well as jasmine and narcissus. It is a blend of distillates, the "eaux-de-vie", 85% of which stem from the region of Grande Champagne. The result is contained in a bottle resembling the rays of the sun, which highlights the deep, amber-gold color of the beverage. An ideal accompaniment to sweet desserts with oranges and chocolate.

Rémy Martin Louis XIII Grande Champagne is an undisputed king among all cognacs. The exclusive bottle made from the exceptional Baccarat crystal decorated with 24-carat gold contains a blend of eaux-de-vie stemming entirely from Grande Champagne. The oldest of those exquisite cognacs are over 100 years old. The most distinguished creation of Rémy Martin leaves behind the silky notes of iris, immortelle, lychees and prunes. The dark golden color and very rich taste are unparalleled. This unique cognac is meant for experienced and demanding connoisseurs.
