He was born on March 19, 1919 in Goździechów, Kościan County, Poznań Province. He died on June 3, 2003 in Wałbrzych. Father Jacob. Sister Mary. Brothers Walenty, Stanislaw, Jan. Wife of Franciszek née Obrzycka. Eugenia's daughter. Sons Zygmunt and Andrzej. A player of the Sudety People's Sports Club in Książ.

He had worked his years in the Pack without reproach. He was punctual, precise and demanding. When he was retired, he used to go to Pańków near Świdnica to the Kazimierz Mazurek Stud and help train horses. At work, he didn't let a handful of hay get wet. He cared more about horses than himself.

(...)

Paweł Mazurek, an excellent rider, drove horses trained by Władysław Adamczak, who was a teacher of horses bred by Kazimierz Mazurek, his father and by him.

In the book Sledding Sport in Poland, Anna Nowicka-Posłuszna and Marek Zaleski wrote:

“In the years 1970 – 1984, Władysław Adamczak participated in high-ranking competitions thirty times, including seven times in the World Championships and eight times in the European Championships. He was a competitor who prepared horses perfectly.

He was successful in Europe, in the World Championships, in meetings in Aachen. He only failed to win a medal in the Polish Championships. He was fourth. As the athletes say, the worst, because not medal. However, Władysław Adamczak's medals from the World and European Championships remained.

Permanently associated with the post-war history of rebuilding Arabian horse breeding in Poland and the successes of Michałów Stud.

Ignacy Jaworowski was born on January 14, 1924 in Wrońska in the district of Płońsk in Mazovia.

______________________________________________________________

The person of Ignacy Jaworowski is permanently connected with the post-war history of rebuilding Arabian horse breeding in Poland and its wonderful development in the last 60 years. Jaworowski devoted almost his entire life to Arabian horses. He died at the age of 80, of which he worked 49 years in breeding. Half a century is a long time, especially since he lived in very difficult times, which were many times better for horses than for people managing their breeding.

Ignacy Jaworowski was born into a landowning family. His father, grandfather and uncle bred horses in the Anglo-Arabian type and they were the first to teach him horse breeding.

Currently, in the family estate of the Jaworowskis, i.e. in Wrońska, there is an Arabian Horse Stud - Polska AKF sp. z o. o. Wrońska now belongs to Sheikh Khaled Bin Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz from Saudi Arabia. There are about 20 mares in the stable, and there is a commemorative plaque on the building, informing that Ignacy Jaworowski, the founder of the Michałów Stud, was born in Wrońska.
