He was born on March 12, 1892 in Warsaw in a family of great merit for Poland and its capital. He was a big city kid. So where did this passion for horses come from, animals that he loved as a child, and then he got to know their breeding thoroughly and so permanently that he devoted his long life to them completely?
Warsaw at the end of the XNUMXth century - the world of Staś's childhood years - the beautiful Royal Route, and especially Aleje Ujazdowskie, the famous promenade of Warsaw at that time, carriages harnessed in fancy horses, amazons, horsemen - all this absorbed the eyes and fascinated the mind of a child.
It is 1899 - Pole Mokotowskie. Father takes 7-year-old Staś to horse racing for the first time. This event has a profound effect on the child's mind; the boy becomes passionate about racehorses first, then people, trainers and everything related to horses; always hear something interesting, see! He makes every possible effort to attend the races, and then watch the morning gallops, explore the secrets of horse training.
