    Mare milk, compared to the milk of other animal species used for dairy purposes, is distinguished by a wealth of bioactive substances conferring health benefits. Mare milk positively affects the human immune system and digestive system. It is rich in nutrients that have a beneficial effect on the skin and protect its cells against oxidative stress. The aim of the survey was to investigate consumer awareness of the alternative use of mare milk. The survey was conducted among students from four fields of study (bioengineering of food, dietetics, agriculture, and animal husbandry) and people with no connection to agriculture. In total, responses were obtained from 200 people. Fifty-one per cent of respondents were unaware that horses are used for dairy purposes. Mare milk is most often (60% of respondents) associated only with food for foals. The respondents’ awareness of the chemical composition of milk was low (37%). The main food product made from mare milk that was familiar to the respondents (70%) was kumis.

    Malopolski horses – sport or recreation?
    (Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2017) Wilczyńska, Karolina; Andraszek, Katarzyna; Danielewicz, Agata; Departament of Genetics and Horse Breeding, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Departament of Genetics and Horse Breeding, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities; Departament of Genetics and Horse Breeding, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities
    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.

    The Use and Maintenance of Horses in the Aspect of Natural Training Methods
    (Wydawnictwo Uczelniane Zachodniopomorskiego Uniwersytetu Technologicznego w Szczecinie, 2021) Ratajczak, Angelika; Pluta, Michał; Danielewicz, Agata; Institute of Animal Science and Fisheries, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities, Poland; Department of Horse Breeding and Use, University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Poland
    As a result of evolution, humanity transitioned from a nomadic to a sedentary way of life, from hunting and gathering to crop production and animal husbandry. Domestication involved capturing wild horses and adapting them to the conditions in which they were raised by humans. This resulted in a change in the treatment of horses and the perception of their emotional needs. The focus shifted to building relationships with the horse, understanding it, and treating it as a rational being. Currently, horses are seen as one of the most intelligent animals ‘cooperating’ with people. In this study, 62 horses at four equestrian centres were examined. The horses included mares, stallions and geldings between the ages of 3 and 26 years, belonging to eight breeds: Arabian, Malopolski, Hucul, Polish Half-Bred, Silesian, Polish Coldblood, Shetland pony, and Haflinger. The analysis of forms of horse training indicated that all centres used classical training methods for 100% of their horses. The trainers declared interest in natural methods, but as support for classical training. Natural methods of working with horses were applied at centres 2 and 3, where horses were ridden both for recreation and for sport. This type of training was not observed at centre 1, where horses were used only for recreational riding, or at centre 4, which dealt mainly in breeding and training of race horses. Horses at centre 3 and most of those at centre 2 took part in in Parelli’s Seven Games, Join-Up, and desensitization to unknown objects, and imprinting of foals was practiced. This indicates that horse trainers are currently applying natural methods, but are not completely giving up classical training. A study was carried out to investigate the approach of contemporary horse breeders to forms of housing and use with respect to their interest in foal imprinting, natural horsemanship, Join-Up, and desensitization to unknown objects.
