MALOPOLSKI HORSES – SPORT OR RECREATION?
Journal Title: Folia Pomeranae Universitatis Technologiae Stetinensis Agricultura Alimentaria Piscaria et Zootechnica - Year 2017, Vol 41, Issue 332
Abstract
Many horse breeders currently face the problem of breeding which is oriented towards the purposes of sport, which places increasing demands on riding horses. But would it not be more rational to plan a strategy focused primarily on recreation, as well as on equestrian sports in a limited scope? The vast majority of horses that do not meet the conditions of qualified riders end up with amateurs who cannot cope with these temperamental animals. Using information obtained from the lists of starters in the Polish Championships for Young Horses (MPMK) from 2010–2015, the study evaluated the percentage of Malopolski horses among all Polish breeds of starters and analysed the achievements of Malopolski horses, broken down by sex and by the percentage of thoroughbred blood in the individuals. The number of Malopolski horses starting in the Polish Championships for Young Horses is just under 10%, having remained at an even level during the six years analysed. The lowest percentage of Malopolski horses was noted in 2014, at 6.7%, but a year later it increased to 9.6%. The many years of breeders’ work on the Malopolski breed represent an invaluable achievement of Polish material culture. Therefore this tradition should be continued by improving the traits and preserving the form of the original Malopolski horse. This improvement must be based on excellent material supported by breeding work in the public and private sector.
