1 The decision to breed Arabian horses was made during our first participation in the Arabian Horse Days at Janów Podlaski. It was 2011 and the star of the auction was the 2 year old PIACENZA from Michałów Stud... but we became enchanted with the atmosphere, the surroundings and the incredible emotions associated with the amazing place which is Janów Podlaski Stud, Piotr Parys recalls the beginnings of his fascination with Arabian horses. My wife has had contact with horses since childhood and our daughter is an active dressage competitor, although she began her adventure with horses in endurance. The stud is the fulfilment of our dreams. It is located in Dąbrówka, Dąbrówka team 56 TUTTO ARABI -

5 manor houses, where the tradition of horse breeding had been alive for centuries, with the unique nature of the surroundings. The first mares that we purchased were 2 representatives of the damline of Gazella, descending from the mare MIRIAM (Mlech Pełkiński - Gahdar/Wielki Szlem), one of the foundresses of the Michałów herd: MAMBA (Ar-Rahman - Matnia/Palas) and MILKA (PS Pacos - Mira/Sarmata). Next to join the following year were NEBRASKA (HDB Sihr Ibn Massai Nicol / Major), FILA (Oset - Florena/Palas) and KASHIRA (Magnum Psyche - Kahila IV/Ibn Bint Inas), together with the tiny, freshly born KALAHARI by Ajman Moniscione. The stud s next developmental phase was the purchase of the then 6 year old BOHEMA, the Janów Podlaski-bred daughter of the epochal Ekstern. Together with her three daughters Bohema is PANTOMIMA PA 2018 Pomian Poezja / Enzo without all doubt the adornment of our herd. However the turning point of the stud s history was the purchase of the 4 year old chestnut PALATINA (QR Marc - Palmeta/Ecaho) bred by Janów Podlaski during the 2013 Pride of Poland Sale. As befits a daughter of such accomplished parents, we could soon enjoy Palatina s successes on the show arena - in 2015 she won the Silver Medal at the Al Khalediah European Arabian Horse Festival and a year later she claimed the title of Polish National Champion Mare together with the awards for Best Head and Highest Score of the Show. Together with Palatina we also purchased POEZJA (Enzo - Pelota/Pilot), a year later PIRANEZA (Ecaho - Pilar/ PALATINA 2009 QR Marc Plameta / Ecaho 60 TUTTO ARABI -
