In order to understand the uproar that keeps appearing from time to time since 2016 around Janów Podlaski Stud and the entire Polish Arabian horse breeding, one has to bear in mind the following background. Common knowledge about the subject, reinforced by media, is largely based upon a number of invented facts or myths, whereas real facts affecting the present situation  are overlooked. The social awareness concerning the Polish Arabian horses is built upon myths rather than  genuine knowledge. Furthermore, creation and perpetuation of such myths lies in the interest of certain individuals deriving profit thereof. Any fruitful analysis of the problem or even attempts to improve the situation will not bring any amelioration, as long as a mythical state of affairs is viewed as a departing point of any change. On the contrary, pathologies responsible for the decline of Janów Podlaski Stud, a pepiniere of the Polish Arabian horse  breeding, will only be aggravated. Therefore, the key to understand real problems of this ancient stud is the disclosure of all myths underlying the widespread opinions about Janów. Analysing these myths will also help to reveal the actual beneficiaries of their perpetuation, as well as to highlight root causes of all the problems confronting the stud. Efficient remedies to these problems can be found only if those considerations are taken into account.

In order to make plans for the future one has to know the past. For many years, all matters related to  State Studs, including Janów, were beyond the reach of outsiders. As Krystyna Chmiel aptly pointed out, the breeding of the Arabian horses was tightly separated from the society. Relics of the past are still in place, as the Janów Stud is more willing to host foreign breeders than the local ones, who are looked upon unfavourably. Ever since the 1960s, the State Studs were entangled in an opaque system that was dismantled in 2016. However, many problems emerged in the process. It turned out that the Janów Stud was infested with a group of people who, by and large, privatized Janów for their own benefit. These people also reserved for themselves the exclusive right to define not only the future, but also the past of the Stud. Over the years, many myths accumulated about the past history of Janów Podlaski Stud. These myths were subsequently used as a weapon in the political battle that is being waged on the public arena. That battle is meant to determine who is entlitled to rule over the Janów Stud and who is not. Many shocking situations took place in 2016, when an arrogant authority ruling at the time clashed with a strong group of interests that has been controlling Janów for years. That control was excercised not only on a purely material level, but it extended to creating around Janów Podlaski Stud a propaganda driven aura of success. Unexpectedly for both sides, in due course serious problems facing Janów became apparent, such as an increasing economic crisis as well as a steady decline in the quality of breeding. These problems were hiterto cleverly masked and concealed. 

Undoubtedly, Janów Podlaski is the most characteristic and telling example of the influence wielded upon the Polish horse breeding as well as the awareness of the Polish people. The stormy history of Janów Podlaski Stud and its significance as a symbol of Polish Arabian horse breeding are facts universally known all over the world.

The beautiful town house situated at the corner of Krakowskie Przedmieście and Plac Zamkowy in Warsaw hosted on September 11th, 2021 a breeding conference organized by the Pure Polish Arabian Society. The main objective of that conference was to find answers to the dilemma: where lies the future of the Arabian horses in Poland. 

The conference on horse breeding organized by Pure Polish Arabian Society is an event dedicated to breeders and users of the Polish Arabian horses as well as to the lovers of that race. The aim of the conference is to discuss chosen aspects related to the breeding of the Arabian horses, but also to attempt defining the concept of Pure Polish with reference to the  Arabian horse by joint effort of the participants.
