Polish Arabian
Arabian horse breed from Poland / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Polish Arabian (Polish: Czysta Krew Arabska) is the variety of Arabian horse bred in Poland. Arabian horses were introduced to Poland in the 16th century via prizes of war. It was not until the 19th century that organized pure-bred breeding was established. The Polish Arabian was decimated during the two world wars, leading to the loss of breed registry and the vast majority of the livestock. In 1926, Dr. Edward Skorkowski created a studbook and a dedicated breeding society. Breeding resumed in the 1940s and 1950s, based on a small group of surviving breeding stock.

These horses have an excellent international reputation for beauty, as demonstrated by Bandola and Pianissima. They are, however, less successful in endurance riding than other strains of Arabian horses. They are bred at various national and private stud farms, the most famous of which is the Janów Podlaski Stud Farm.
