Horses from Janów Podlaski represent nearly two centuries of unwavering dedication to Arabian and Anglo-Arabian horse breeding. This album richly documents the resilience and rebirth of the Janów stud - destroyed by war yet continually restored - mirroring the history of the Polish nation itself. Through striking photography and insightful text, it celebrates the bloodlines, champions, auctions, and living traditions that define this venerable institution. / This volume functions as a comprehensive visual and textual overview of the Janów Podlaski State Stud, combining historical narrative, breeding analysis, and high-quality imagery. It contextualizes the stud's foundational period (1817-1914), destruction during both World Wars, and its post-war recovery with renewed focus on purebred Arabians. Contributors from multiple disciplines explore phenotypic selection, bloodline maintenance, landmark auctions such as Pride-of-Poland, and the stud's role in national cultural identity. As a richly illustrated case study, it is valuable for scholars of animal science, equine studies, heritage preservation, and Central European agrarian history.
