This is a Polish horse whereon Jan Kowalczyk won a gold Olympic medal in show jumping and a silver team Olympic medal at Olympic Games in Moscow, 1980.
As Jan Kowalczyk remembers: “Artemor was not so high horse (163 cm at withers). He was characterized by his jocundity, vivacity and limitless energy. I got him from Sopot in 1978 in exchange for three other horses transferred by Legia.”
Hence, Jan Kowalczyk used to mount him until 1984; the pair won an Olympic competition and 8 CSIO competitions. Kowalczyk represented Polish colours at the Nations Cup.
In Poland, he won also:
Championship of Poland in show jumping – 1979
Championship of Poland in show jumping – 1980
Vice-Championship of Poland in show jumping – 1981
Championship of Poland in show jumping – 1982
In December 1984, Artemor fell ill in encephalitis and, as a consequence, he was euthanatized.
He was chosen as a century horse during the public vote for the best horse of the project #winners100stars, Cavaliad
