It was 1977. A young breeder Jerzy Białobok was always interested in Oriental horses. He was keen on pure-bred Arabians. To get to know them, it was necessary to run through a training at an Arabian stud farm. There were only two – Janów Podlaski and Michałów. Eng. Białobok came to the Służewiec Racecourse. He talked to their directors, Andrzej Krzyształowicz and Ignacy Jaworowski. There were a sufficient number of apprentices in Janów Podlaski however Jaworowski invited him to Michałów. It was 15 August 1977.

(…)

The Białobok family had no relationships with horses. His father Stefan was a geneticist. He was interested in trees. He finished Main School of Farming and then obtained a degree of doctor at University in Berlin before 1939. His grandfather Jan Kanty Białobok worked at Scientific Institute in Puławy and dealt with trees and shrubs. One silver spruce, no more than 2.5 m high, is called Białobok.

Jerzy Białobok: “My father was a researcher and a professor of Polish Academy of Science at the Institute in Kórnik. So, there were a certain breeding tradition. Farm horses in Kórnik were used for work in nursery gardens and a farm. My mother finished a horticultural school in Poznań and worked in Kórnik. My grandfather on the distaff side, Tadeusz Grabowski, was a professor of Jagielloński University. Then he was a head of Romance philology department in Poznań and dealt with literature of romanticism period. I was absorbed by horses.”

Honorary Patron: Museum of Independence in Warsaw

Sponsor: Polish Horse Breeders Association, Władysław Brejta

Guardians: Łukasz Schuch, Agnieszka Bojanowska

Polish hippologist, an excellent exterior expert and a racing organizer. Co-originator of horse breeding in Poland after the World War I and II. He has written (together with W. Pruski and J. Grabowski) the Vol. II of the manual entitled “Horse breeding”.

______________________________________________________________

He was born on 12 March 1892 in Warsaw within the family much-deserved for Poland and its capital. He was a child of a big city. So, from whence was his life-affecting passion for horses he came to love from childhood and then came to know their breeding thoroughly and so permanently that he devoted his long life to them.
Warsaw at the end of nineteenth century – the world of Stanisław’s childhood – the beautiful Trakt Królewski, and particularly Aleje Ujazdowskie, the famous promenade in Warsaw of that time, equipages with elegant horses, equestriennes and riders – all of them fascinated the child’s mind.

Pole Mokotowskie – 1899. His father took seven-year Stanisław to the racecourse for the first time. This event has exerted a huge influence on the child’s mind; the boy started being passionate of racehorses at first and then people, trainers and all things related to horse; he can still hear and see something new! He made every effort to visit racecourses and then observe morning gallops and penetrate secrets of horse training.
(…)

On 05 March 1982, aged 90, Eng. Stanisław Schuch MSc died. He was a former Chief of Horse Breeding Department at Agriculture Ministry and the main co-originator of horse breeding in Poland after the World War I and II.

He was honoured with the Order of Polonia Restituta Fourth Class, the Officer’s Cross, and Fifth Class, the Knight’s Cross, as well as with many other distinctions.

Lesław Kukawski was born in Lvov on 07 April 1930 as a son of Zygmunt, a graduate of Wood Faculty of Technical University of Lvov, and Janina Stańkowska from home. He died on February 10, 2016. His funeral took place on February 20 at the Trzcianka cemetery.

He died on 10 February 2016. His funeral took place on 20th February at the cemetery in Trzciana.

From childhood, he was interested in army and history thanks to his family’s attachment to national traditions and struggles for independence.

(…)

His work at stud farms gave him practical knowledge of hippology; then he dealt with history of mounted armies. He gathered literature and objects connected to mounted formations, transferred to him by former soldiers living in the country and abroad or bought if necessary and affordable. He brought carpet-bags full of militaria from his uncle living in London since the war. When his collection was too large to find room at the house in Pańska Łaska, he transferred it to Museum of Cavalry Training Centre in Grudziądz in 1990s.
