A special issue of Araby Magazine

During this year’s edition of the Pride of Poland festivities the new issue of Araby Magazine will be available. This special issue is dedicated entirely to the memory of the founder and chief editor of the publication, but first and foremost the First Lady of Polish Arabian horse breeding – Mrs. Izabella Pawelec-Zawadzka, the many year president of the PAHBA, who passed away this year. Until the very end she was an active Honorary President, a former Vice-President of WAHO, judge and authority for several generations of Arabian horse breeders, not just in Poland. This will be the first Polish National Show that she will not attend. All of us here, as well as many international guests, already miss her smile, wise advice and kind words.
