Abstract

The research inspired a broader study on breeding the Konik, carried out by Prof. T. Vetulani in the following years. With 100 years of research and breeding, this breed of Polish horses is a relatively new field of study. The breed itself is one of the latest to be described and officially registered in Poland: the Registry of Koniks was issued in 1955 and the first volume of the breed's studbook – in 1962.
