Petroniusz Frejlich, a breeder of Arabian horses, wrote as folows on Roman Pankiewicz:
He was deported to Siberia where he lived within the period 1940-1946. He worked, among others, in taiga, at a coal-pit and then with horses for a long time. He was a manager and then an assistant director of the Stud Farm in Albigowa (1951-1958). A breeder of the famous Bask called “Revelation of America”.
Almost for all his life, he gathered materials on Arabian horses and wrote on them. He wanted to share his work with others. He wrote the books: “Polska hodowla koni czystej krwi arabskiej 1918-1939”(Polish breeding of pure-bred Arabian horses within the period 1918-1939), “Rejestr polskich ogierów czystej krwi arabskiej użytych w hodowli w latach 1944-1993” (Register of Polish pure-bred Arabian stallions used in breeding within the period 1944-1993) vol. 1 and 2 or “Siedmiu wspaniałych” (The splendid seven).
He promoted Polish breeding of Arabian horses through his lectures at courses in Canada and at breeding conferences in USA.
