On October 6, 1816, Tsar Alexander I of Russia signed a decree establishing the State Stud Farm and Stallion Stud. The over 200-year history of this stud farm is a beautiful history of Polish and world Arabian horse breeding.

______________________________________________________________

Both the stud farm and its horses owe their modern form to a man who, for fifty years of work, never missed a single morning round - Andrzej Krzyształowicz, a great charismatic personality and a wonderful breeder. When asked about the definition of success for the horses he bred, he replied: "You have to feel the issue and be there."

(...)

When it comes to breeding, I started to adopt Mr. Krzyształowicz's way of looking at horses. It wasn't exactly the same look, because I also had my own tastes, some ideal of a horse. Breeding is a constant necessity of choice. It would be great to be able to be guided only by your feeling of what you want to keep or sell. Let's assume that the stud farm is to have a certain number of mares. Their selection doesn't look like this: I don't like the one, I throw it away, and I keep the one that is of high quality. That would be too easy. Here, a compromise is needed between the interests of breeding, i.e. the quality of horses, and the interests of the stud farm, which must survive.

These goals are mutually exclusive in the short term, but in the long term they are very similar. However, to understand this and make appropriate decisions, the breeder and the economist must be one person. Then, as a breeder, no one will tell me that the money at the end of the year must be this and that, because he has planned three million for me and that's how much I have to earn. I will not order myself to achieve a certain income at any cost just because otherwise the company's financial plan will suffer. This price would be the sale of the best horses.

(...)

This is basically the quintessence of the Polish breeding philosophy: to have the most selected, highest quality broodmares possible and to constantly look for fresh blood, not to cause too much relatedness. We are constantly looking for different stallions that could produce good offspring with these mares. In Poland, efforts have been made to achieve this from the very beginning. This was the most convenient way and it was the fastest way to achieve breeding progress. Because a mare gives birth to one foal a year, while a stallion can be the father of hundreds of offspring. So its impact on breeding is huge. One stud dog in a stud farm is enough. If it's good, it takes it to the next level. And the old Polish rule was that stallions were imported from the desert. Expeditions rarely brought mares.

Some people did not understand what the mission of the state breeding farm was. Why, for example, can't the best stallions be made available cheaply and for each mare? Breeders usually think that their "babies" are the most beautiful. And that's why you go to reviews and shows, so that by judging you can become more objective about what you do yourself and what others achieve. State stud farms also exist to ensure that private breeding is as good as possible. No one ever refused advice or help, even though it wasn't always what someone wanted to hear.

(...)

However, there is something else that we will have to come back to and think about in the future. On September 28, 1937, Professor Witold Pruski founded the Horse Museum in Janów with an entry in the guest book. Due to the war, it could not be organized. I was planning such a museum, there are so many awards and trophies that I don't know what to do with. I wanted such a modern center to be built in the place where the "Wygoda" guest house is located. It is my great guilt that I have not been able to do this so far. And probably a challenge for his successors. When I left, I left the finished design of such a building with all the arrangements, and above all, with the approval of the conservator.

It was founded in 1953. It took over the horses from the stud in Klemensów, near Zamość, which was liquidated at the same time. Together with the horses, a breeder, Mr. Ignacy Jaworowski, was transferred to Michałów, later its director for many years.

-

Michałów Stud has been breeding Arabian horses for almost 50 years. It is the largest stud farm of this breed in Poland and one of the largest in Europe and in the world. It belongs to the Agricultural Property Agency of the State Treasury - Regional Branch in Warsaw. It owns 382 Arabian horses, including 110 mares.

In addition, the Michałów Stud breeds Lesser Poland horses of the rare Tarrant color - 26 pcs., Shetland ponies (below 100 cm at the withers) - 15 pcs. and has two breeding herds of dairy cattle: Jersey and black and white with a large amount of Holstein-Friese , a total of 391 units, including 156 cows.

The stud farm is located in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodship, in a beautiful area called Ponidzie, 45 km south of Kielce, 230 km south of Warsaw, 100 km north of Kraków (25 km south-east of Michałów is Wiślica, the capital of the Wiślan state; according to According to the latest research, the Vistulans were baptized 100 years before Mieszko 1).

The total land area of ​​Michałów Stud is 639 ha. Agricultural land covers an area of ​​620 ha, including 95 ha of pastures, 107 ha of meadows and 418 ha of arable land. The soil is mainly rendzina with a marl base, rich in calcium and other minerals. From the perspective of several decades, it can be said that the environment for purebred Arabian horses here is by all means favorable.

The first pure Arabian mares came to Michałów as early as 1950, to the half-bred stud that exists here. They were: ARMENIA gray daughter of Witraż and MIRIAM and MUFTA bay daughters of Miech Pełkiński.

In 1953, by the decision of the Minister of Agriculture, Arabian horses from Stud Klemensów near Zamość were transferred to the Michałów Stud, 22 mares arrived: ADIS ABEBA, AKRA.AMBA, AMNERIS, ANGARA, BAJADERA, BRUSSA, DAMBA, EL ZABIBE, EPIZODA, FANFARA, FORTA, GAŁKA, GAZELLA, GWARA, LALA, LAGUNA, MOKDIARA, ORDA, SAGA, VERBENA, ZAHABU.
After the racing training was completed in autumn, the following young mares arrived: CIWITA, COSMOSA, CZAJKA, CZIKA, DARDA, DARIBBA, DEUA, DEVERA.

At the end of 1953, there were 33 purebred Arabian mares and currently we have 110 mares. Since the beginning of the Stud's existence, 116 stallions from second sire lines have been used, 2289 purebred foals have been born. 943 horses were sold for export.

Mares - characteristics of currently owned families:

Arabian mares in Michałów Stud belong to 10 dam families: Gazella db, Miecha db, Sahara db, Milordka, Ukrainka, Szwejkowska, Wołoszka, Selma db, Rodania db. and Semrie or.ar.
Two families deserve special mention: MILORDKA and SZWEJKOWSKA.

From the perspective of almost 70 years of the Stud's existence, the most valuable mare that came to Michałów was ESTOKADA kast, born on 1951 by Amurath Sahib out of Saga by Hardy bred by SK Klemensów from the female family of the mare Milordka – Sławuta. This family currently has 43 representatives in Michałów and is the most representative and adequate family for the entire Stud.

The second epoch-making mare that came to Michałów Stud in 1953 was WERBENA kast, born in 1945. 2000 by Wojski out of Kalina Wnuczek by Koheilan I from the dam of SZWEJKOWSKA – Sławuta. In 200, this family celebrated the 11th anniversary of documented breeding. Currently, there are 1986 mares from this family at the stud. This family is famous for many great horses, e.g. WARMIA, WIZJA and others, but her greatest glory for the stallion WOJSŁAW gn. born XNUMX by Tallinn (Tiersk) from Vileyka by El Paso, thanks to which the dying line of the stallion was saved. Bairac-tar or.ar. Wojsław – Champion of Poland, top-class sire, has already sired many valuable dams and four top stallions: DRUID out of Dalida, EMENOR out of Emanacja, MONAR out of Mitręga and WERBUM out of Werda.

The Spectators' Horse Stud

GALLERY

The history of the Widzów Stud dates back to the end of the 1919th century, when the Lubomirski princes, the brothers Stefan, Władysław and Stanisław, established a stud of Thoroughbred horses in their estate in Kruszyn. Stefan farmed in Kruszyn and was the first president of the Polish Olympic Games Committee (later POC) established in XNUMX; Władysław - horse expert, sportsman and artist - sponsored e.g. the Warsaw Symphony Orchestra; Stanisław – an economist and the first president of Bank Przemysłowy in Warsaw – founded the first aircraft factory in Poland.

The first horses, constituting the breeding base, were imported from England. Initially, they ran on the track in nearby Pławno, and then on the Mokotowskie Track in Warsaw.

The development of the stud focused on breeding more and more horses required the provision of appropriate conditions. This prompted the Lubomirskis to buy, in 1896, the Widzów farm, a few kilometers away. Stables, which were modern for those times, were built there, and drained paddocks were set up. Two rope starting machines were imported from England, one of which was transferred to Tor Mokotowskie in Warsaw, the other stayed at the stud and was used to teach young horses how to start. The Lubomirski family imported one of the first horse carts that transported horses from railway stations to racing stables. Until the outbreak of World War I, Lubomirski's racing horses triumphed on Polish, Russian, Austro-Hungarian and German tracks, winning: 4 Derbys (2 times in Warsaw, once in Moscow and Vienna), 2 times in the Great Baden, St. Leger in Budapest, Oaks several times in Warsaw, Moscow and Vienna.

(...)

After World War II, the stud was and still is very successful in racing and breeding. A sign of this are numerous victories at home and abroad. The horses from Widzów won the following classics: Derby 8 times, Rulera, Oaks and St. Leger, 7th - Spring Award, 6th - Great Warsaw Award, 10th - prestigious Award of the Prime Minister and over 9 other personal non-group awards plus several dozen races abroad.

Jarosław Koch is a breeder of e.g. the legendary mare Dżamajka, the stallion Dipol and the best obstacle horse in Poland - Masini. Longtime manager of the Widzów Stud.

______________________________________________________________


(…) he spent his childhood during the war years, as well as the first post-war years and then spent his holidays with his family in the countryside. It was then that he became interested in horses and rode them whenever he could.

In 1956, he graduated from Primary School No. 178 in Warsaw and, after taking the exam, entered the 1960th Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. T. Reytana, where he passed his final exams in XNUMX. In the same year he became a student at the Faculty of Animal Production at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences.

In 1958, he started horseback riding at the Warsaw Equestrian Club and competed in equestrian show jumping competitions, and was trained by the unforgettable Major Henryk Roycewicz (silver medalist of the Berlin Olympics in 1936). An avid eventer, he tried to turn the young rider into an eventing competitor, but it ended in 1961 during a competition in PSO Łobez with a fall from a horse and a broken collarbone. But he still rode horses in WKJ and in the morning trainings in the racing stables in Służewiec.

During his studies, he was a co-founder of the Student Equestrian Club at the Association of Polish Students, which was the first to promote equestrianism among students - he organized equestrian camps (holidays in the saddle) at the State Herds of Stallions in Starogard and Łąck, as well as trips to herds and stud farms, as well as hunting runs for students in stallion herd in Łąck.

On behalf of SKJ, Jarosław Koch was a member of the board of the Warsaw Regional Equestrian Association. In 1962, he completed a PZJ judge course and was a starting judge at an international horse competition in Warsaw at the stadium at Racławicka Street. He was also active on the board of the Zootechnics Circle at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, organizing science and equestrian camps in Białka, Ochaby, Sieraków and Łącko.

______________________________________________________________

In 1956, the first xx mares arrived. The Żółkiewka facility was adapted for them. In 1972, it was enlarged to 75 mares xx and a breeding unit was launched. Skarżyce. 
______________________________________________________________

The Horse Stud in Strzegom was located in the western part of Poland, in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in the picturesque area of ​​the Sudeckie Foothills.

From the pastures there is a view of the Strzegomskie Hills surrounding the area, and further on the Karkonosze range.  

The stud farm was established in 1955 on the basis of the State Farms Complex, whose farms were located around the city of Strzegom.

At that time, it was a large state-owned enterprise with 1200 dairy cows with full rearing of youngsters, a Central Bull Breeding House for 120 bulls, a breeding pigsty, a Meat and Wool Merino Breeding Center with a herd of 2000 mothers and a Hunting Center with a pheasant farm rearing approx. 16 pheasants.

The original intentions of horse breeding concerned the Silesian horse breed, but already in 1956 the first Thoroughbred mares arrived, which gave rise to the future stud, and for whom the Żółkiewka facility was adopted.

The first Thoroughbred mares purchased for Strzegom are Tirenia (by Goog bye - Tirana by Wily Attorney) and Zahukana (Good bye - Zapomniana by Pasjans) bred by Kozienice Stud, Casarossa (Oduagis - Casablanca II by Pilade) from Widzów Stud and Golejewko Stud yearling filly Hekla (Aquino – Hybla by Cavaliere d'Arpino). The adaptation of the facility and the organization of the stud ran very smoothly, so that on July 1, 1957, on the day of the official opening of the stud, there were 24 mares in Żółkiewka, scrapped from other studs, and in 1966 there were already 40 of them.

Polish hipologist, great exterierist and organizer of horse races. Co-founder of horse breeding in Poland after World War I and II. With W. Pruski and J. Grabowski, he wrote the second volume of the textbook entitled "Horse breeding".

______________________________________________________________

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.
