90 years of the Polish Arabian Stud Book 1926-2016
The August issue of "Świat Koni" includes an interesting article by Hanna Sztuka on history, breeding and more. The English version will be printed in Tutto Arabi next month:
"(...) Numerous historic sources attest to the presence of Arabian horses in Poland. Oriental horses had a large impact on horse breeding in our country, contributing to the most famous victories of Polish armies. Despite unfavourable political conditions from the end of the 18th century, several of the largest and oldest borderland studs survived and maintained a high quality of breeding. Studs of the Sanguszko family in Chrestówka with its seat in Sławuta in the Volhynia region, the Branicki counts from Biała Cerkiew in Szamrajówka, Uzin and Janiszówka in the Ukraine and the Dzieduszycki counts in Jarczowce and Jezupol in the Małopolska region gave the foundation for pedigree breeding of Arabian horses in Poland. All the later known Polish Arabian horse breedings drew their founding material directly or indirectly from these studs."
