Jadasa Jablonowski, better known as Dasi to many, is known in the States as a very talented graphic designer and is responsible for many of the beautiful ads you see each month in GoMag. While back home in her native Europe, she works as a horse trainer as well. Dasi is excited to be presenting some outstanding horses at the European Championships currently happening in Rieden-Kreuth, Germany, August 10-18. The show spotlights Europe’s best American Quarter Horses and their riders vying for prestigious medals and €50,000 worth of prizes and money.
“I have some great horses in my show string at the moment,” says Dasi, who is excited about the lineup she is presenting at the major European shows this year. “They are all very young–the oldest are five year-olds, but they are very talented. I love working with each of them and I can’t wait to see how they will be when they are finished.”
Dasi adds, “My kids and clients are also wonderful, and they work so hard to get better and that reminds me of how I was when I was in youth. I don’t need to push them because they want it so bad, so I try to keep the training fun.”
The multiple European Champion will be showing, Not Dun Being Lazy, in the Junior Western Pleasure which is owned by Martin Oswald. “She is a three year-old mare by Lazy Loper and for sure got the right name, she is one to push every stride,” says Dasi, who currently lives in Bad Wörishofen which is about 30 minutes from Munich. “She is so much fun to ride because she gets better every day just by herself. She has a great front leg, and I can’t wait to start changing leads on her this winter.”
In the Junior Hunter Under Saddle, this talented all-around rider will be showing, Hoo Let The Dogz Out, a three year-old mare by Hot Ones Only which is owned by her sister, Johanna Oswald. “I love her because she is so good minded. Her heart is as big as her trot. A month ago she was NSBA European Champion in Non-Pro Hunter Under Saddle and Reserve with me in the Open.”
In the Green Western Pleasure, Dasi is excited to be debuting, Youretheonethatiwant, a four year-old mare by Blazing Hot which is owned by Britta Fischer. “She is a phenomenal mover and beautiful – she has come a long way in the last couple of months and is definitely the horse that picked up the program the fastest because I have only had her since May. She has never been shown before, and it’s exciting to debut at a big show like the Europeans. My goal with her is to get her ready for the DQHA Futurity which is in October.” (pictured left)
The tall striking blonde says that she loves the European horse industry because it is like a family. “Through the horses I have met some of the best people from all over the world. Horses really connect the people and I think that is very special!”
Jablonowski says that her graphic design company is a lot like her horse business. She works for a limited number of clients, and she enjoys working with all different types of people. “I always try to capture the personality of the clients in the ads,” Dasi states. “I talk to them and try to understand who they are, where they come from and where they want to go. Everybody is so different. I am very blessed that I have two jobs that fulfill me with happiness. Horses and arts are my two biggest passions, and I think I’m very lucky to be able to do both. I could not think of a better life for me.”
GoHorseShow wishes Dasi and her clients the best of luck at the European Championships!
