l to r:  Jenny Pond from Australia and Sharzad Amir-Aslani and Hely Benjamin from Iran, enjoying the Conference as Observers.

Executive Committee Plan for next 2 years:  1) Promote the knowledge of the Arabian horse through education on the history and heritage of the breed and 2) finalize the Data Base.

We then enjoyed a film presentation:  “The Purebred Arabian horses of Poland,” Mrs. Anna Stojanowska, Head Specialist on Horse Breeding, Agricultural Property Agency. 

This was followed by a guest speaker:  Mr. Krzysztof Zaleski, Curator of the Collection of Polish Drawings, National Museum of Warsaw:  “The Arabian in Polish Art.”

The hot topic of the day was the discussion and vote on closing the WAHO stud books to any horses whose parentage is not already registered in a WAHO stud book.  There was much discussion from many countries and from the observer gallery.  Great arguments were made on both sides.  The final vote passed the motion to close the stud books with 26 Member Registries voting yes, 14 voting no and 4 abstentions. 

After lunch (which was always 1:00 to 2:00 p.m.) we left for the Polish Arabian Horse Parade at the Warsaw-Slezewiec Racetrack where we enjoyed a wonderful and unique presentation of Polish Arabians. This was a unique event, since normally one only sees horses from the different studs together at shows and then in these individual family groups/sire lines/dam lines at the breeding parades at individual stud farms.  I believe this was their first ever Breeding Parade showing horses from all studs together.  In one afternoon we were privileged to see many of Europe’s top show horses including World, European, All Nations Cup and Polish Champions.  To see representatives of the incredible “P” family from Janow, for example, within moments of seeing the celebrated “E” family from Michalow in the mare-line presentation was something very special and quite unique. These horses, brought to Warsaw especially for this event from the 3 main State Studs and also from some private breeders, were presented in family groups by sire lines and dam lines.  This is very important to the Polish breeders and is the traditional way of presentation.  Sire lines included: 

1. Bairactar, or.ar., imported 1817 to Weil, Balon and Kulig presented
