Developing and learning is our passion – says Urszula Leczycka, the owner – we never say we know all, we are excited to learn and we are proud that thanks to our worldwide connections we can learn from a great people - trainers, breeders and jugdes from the industry. I hope in addition of time and patience the hard work and passion for our job will lead us to our further goals because the first ones we already achieved in the time as short that surprised even ourselves! It all began with childhood dreams of two people who didn’t know each other for many years but when they finally met all started to be like a puzzle game completed.

community – Mrs Izabella Pawelec-Zawadzka who made the biggest influence on her Arabian horse vision and judgement, she also led her into the Arabian horse world. Urszula was an organizing committee member and secretary of Arabian horse shows and WAHO Conference in Poland, the advisor for many Arabian horse breeders in own country and abroad, finally – she graduated an ECAHO judge course that gave her oppotunity to study the lines and production of different locations in the world as she judged the horses in several countries in Europe, South America and in Arab countries so far. This year she was also appreciated also as a show speaker at Scandinavian show and will be heard commenting few international events in 2017 as well. Her fiancee – Tomasz Kotyński is experienced sport rider ofshowjumping and eventing both in Poland and UK along with several years practice ofwork at Polish State and private Studs. He was also a Chevau in Polish Cavalry. During his whole entire life he has been working with horses - this love and passion began when he was a young boy growing up amongst his father's horses as his best friends. When got to know Urszula his biggest life dream started to come trough – he could work with Arabians! The first lessons of show training he took at one of the best places in the world – Michałów State Stud with its chief trainer Mariusz Liśkiewicz who saw the passion and development ofthe young adept and adviced him to go abroad and continue learning from the best. Tomasz took this advice seriously and soon the opportunity came to join Midwest Arabian Team where he could work and help to its most experienced trainers – David Boggs, Alcides Rodriguez and Dagmar Gordiano as well as their fantastic „ backstage staff”. Also in the US the talent of Tomasz was soon

noticed and he has been given the opportunity to show a colt at Breeders Finals in Scottsdale for Midwest Arabian. They went with Valik Ora by Vitorio TO to Top Ten AOTH title. ext step in the US was a several weeks with O’ eill Arabians and helping to work with their customers horses in Arizona and California. It was also a chance to visit some world’s most impressive studs such as Om El Arab, Day Dream or Al Jassimya farms. As the biggest knowledge comes with own work, there was a time to start training on his own. This is how TK Arabian Center was created – first in the rented stables as own farm – over 5 hectares of beautiful land of Kampinos Forrest ational Park by Warsaw was still in the process ofbuilding. - It was not an easy time to start own training – Tomasz says – when I came back from the US it was already spring coming and most of horses have already been at their trainers for current season. But we managed to gather a steady group of clients who trusted in my and Urszula experience and gave us great horses to show. We also adviced to our clients to buy some new show stock and this is how the story of our and Polia Arabians with their filly Gallileah success together have started. From a two years old furry filly who came a long way from orway to our place, within few months we created one of most exciting young fillies to be shown in Poland. Gallileah
(Espekt x Grace Bint Pacha) bred by ordlys Araber and now own by our friends at Polia Arabians is a horse any trainer would love to work with – big, correct, showy and loves events. She was two times 3rd at strong shows in Poland Valik ORA against some best state 201 5 US Arabian National and private horses and Breeder Finals SSS Top Ten Yearling finally – took gold and Champion Gelding highest scored female titles at International Show in Forssa! She stays with us over winter time and you will see her back to the ring in 2017. We have been extremely lucky that all out of three Polia Arabians own horses being with us this year never took less then 5th place in the shows. Ella of Elmaran debuting in training was class winner, Bronze Medal at Forssa and in Poland she was top five in class at B international show. Mahran Halim - Straight Egyptian colt bred by Ponnath
We are proud to have a good connections and trust of Middle Eastern breeders as well, Al Rahba fillies are the perfect example – says Urszula – we also have the mares from Qatar (Eolidia), and Michałów bred (Parsua) standing with us for Al Owanah Stud from Kuwait. They are taken best care of during their time in Poland. The location of our place is versatile in many ways – it is located at Polish second biggest ational Park with all its wild nature attractions, its just 45 minutes ofhighway drive from Warsaw and from 2 international airports, we have an equine reproduction specialist vet just 3 minutes drive from our farm so the horses are under the best care and in the most beautiful environment you may imagine. For the moment of closing this Tutto Arabi issue we are just finishing first of the two new barns at own place - it will be kept in traditional, old Polish style with original XIXth century brick walls and wood combined with modern horse facilities. We have been dreaming on this place since years so we had a lot of time to plan it all carefully – from the most beautiful garden planting around, through the best

Later in the season we started the cooperation with Al Rahba Stud – this successful breeders from Abu Dhabi trusted our knowledge and let us to choose two 2016 born fillies in Europe and prepare them for shows. Anoud al Rahba by Muranas Jassehr bred by Kathleen Olsson after just 2 weeks of work at our place went Top Five Futurity Filly entitled in Poland. Her stable mate beautiful Mahra Al Rahba born at Tarenas Arabstutteri, maternal sister to 2016 Swedish ational Champion Mare, is even better and we are sure she will be important addition for Al Rahba Stud in UAE.
Arabians and own by Polia Arabians first time shown ever was 3rd at Egyptian Event Europe – probably the most difficult show for Egyptian horses in Europe. Work with the best trainers at the early stage paid back quickly as well – this summer Tomasz had an offer from Mariusz Liśkiewicz to help with showing some of best Michałów Stud horses during Polish ational Show. othing is a bigger pleasure than helping to your master – four horses from Michałów Stud shown by Tomasz Kotyński qualifed for the

training equipment, best way of horse preparing and presentation to even most interesting non equine attractions for our visitors. Official opening will take place at 2017 and we invite everybody to visit us next year and look into our barn’s treasures. And we managed to gather a nice group ofown broodmares inside! We have quite a big private own collection of famous E-line mares. There is beautiful Czech ational Silver Medal Champion Mare, Ektesa by Assal AA, bred in Poland and imported back by us from Czech Republic. She is granddaughter of great Laheeb on sire side and of Emigrant and Monogramm from dam side. She is first time in foal expecting Vervaldee grandget by Makisa Adaggio early 2017. It will be first Polish bred foal of this European Champion Colt. We have also Elnaya - young daughter of great producing Emocja from Michałów Stud and maternal sister to famous Ejrene sold to Ajman Stud and Espressivo bred by Knocke Arabians. Being direct granddaughter of Emigracja - foundation mare for Michałów State Stud, Elnaya proven herself as a good producer as well giving birth to pretty 2016 filly by Perseusz. In 2017 she will be bred to Wadee Al Shaqab to repeat successful cross with Gazal-Marwan Al Shaqab line. Our next precious Polish-bred mare is exotic Estura – sired by Kabsztad, son of Kwestura and out of Eusara – daughter ofgreat Euskara from Białka Stud, own now by Agmal Arabians. We have also the daughter of Celsjusz – probably the best son of Ekstern in Poland. El-Europa, posessing one of the longest necks I ever saw at a mare, is out of Michałów stud bred Edia by Monar. She produced her first beautiful 2016 foal this year
and is challenging mare to breed for the future. At last but not least we have homozygotous black AHB Aidha, granddaughter of Royal Colors. She came to us from Italy this year and the shape of her exotic face fulfilles all our dreams about beautiful black Arabian horse. There are a few people interested to buy her from us but we want to breed her to Magic Magnifique first as we know that she will produce for us a black foal with any black stallion.
One of our biggest achievements we have reached quickly and we are very proud of is a big interest of people worldwide in our horses already. I’m glad that more experienced breeders like our horses and we don’t have a problem to sell them whenever we decide to. In the consequence of our first summer presentation for visitors

Recently, our place and horse have also been noticed by the movie directors. A couple ofweeks ago we proudly took part together with our Arabian mares at the great international documentary movie project about Polish Arabian horse. "BASK. Two races-one dream" is directed by Hanna Leśnodorska-Ceglińska and based on a story of Bask - the stallion who created the backgrounds of modern Arabian horse breeding across the Ocean. It will also show connections of famous celebrities related to Arabian horse privately. Our beautiful Arabian mares made also a background for recording parts ofmusic track for the movie. We are sure it will be an exciting and beautiful promotion Polish Arabian horse breeding history worldwide. The strong advantage of TK Arabian Center is combination of the experience of Urszula and Tomasz – they provide the true horsemanship care of the horses being treated each of them as family member but being prepared in a style learned

by Tomasz with the best trainers worldwide – Mariusz Liśkiewicz, Midwest Team and O’ eill Arabians. - We want to follow the clients expectations but treating the horses the traditional Polish way – stressless and enjoying our beautiful surroundings – Tomasz says. Using Urszula’ 15 years of experience with promotiong an Arabian horse we are able to offer our clients’ horses a professional conditioning, regular photosessions that we make on our place and advertising worldwide.

The difference in prices of all those services between Poland and Western from UAE, Kuwait and Germany we sold a 6 months old countries is still a big advantage as well so we are getting filly out of Elnaya within the same day. One of the most ready to welcome the customers and their horses not only challenging aspects of breeding is, in our opinion, to create from Poland but also from abroad. We are sure you will not own type of a horse being recognised anywhere they go. It be disappointed by the level ofservices and the beauty ofthe needs a long time, big experience and hard work that is still place. in front ofus but we have a vision ofArabian horse we want to breed, we have our favourite bloodlines we want to use, Film shots for documentary movie we have versatile pedigrees group ofmares that can be bred about BASK at TK Arabian Center to any stallion you can think of and people’s attention show that we are probably on the good way.
