TRANSLATED.
Former president of Janow Stud about PoP 2017: "It is not just a failure, not slaughter – a great scandal, that's what it is."

- “Arrogance, brashness seen at the press conferences and ignorance in evaluating the market, lack of professionalism in estimating value of the horses and – worst of all – contempt for the clients.”

Those are Marek Trela comments on this year´s auction. It was widely expected that this year´s Days of Arabian Horse would be something extraordinary. Were they? Was the Stud's anniversary an extraordinary event?

"In my opinion the great promotional value of the 200th anniversary of Janow Stud was not made use of at all. Instead of being - as expected and deserved - a potentially global event, it turned into a local happening.

"Those who witnessed the 150th anniversary still reminisce about it; unfortunately this year's one will not be remembered. At least not for the right reasons. It is sad because Janow Stud has always meant a great deal; even German occupants in 1940 published a postcard with the image of the Clock Stables annotated: “The famous Clock Stables." Another occupant some years earlier appreciated the value of Janow's breeding and led the horses over the Caucasus, treating them as most precious.

"It is not easy to judge this year's events because I was not there. After last year´s experience I decided not to go to Janow, and I consider this a wise decision. My opinions are based on observations by watching on the Internet and the opinions shared with me by many friends from all over the world.

"Generally the opinion is that in the National Show the horses were neither better nor worse than usual. One could see differences in the quality of their preparation for the show. The results were fair, in my opinion, based on the fragments I watched.

"The very expensive technical infrastructure was impressive, nothing unusual considering that it was prepared by Targi Poznanskie, the most experienced Polish vendor for that kind of events. The auction - the whole world saw how it was. In my opinion there were few excellent offerings deserving really high prices there. Something went wrong though, maybe their condition or grooming? Some big differences among horses´ conditions were observed.

“I was surprised that horses of poor quality went unsold despite reaching 20-30 thousand euro bids, which I consider fair price for them. Reserve price set too high? Any other reason?

“Why then did the auction failed so badly?

“The experts I talked with blame it on the poor promotion. Based on only one foreign magazine, no other promotional activities, very little information about the event, no contact with the arranger, all that did not encourage people to visit Janow.

“Poor quality photos in the auction catalogue placed in a magazine full of images by the best photographers and editors did not present the horses from the very best side."

“I cannot comment on the auction - I was not there for the first time in 38 years, but you can´t expect the clients to bid gladly if they are not convinced the auction is fair. This is the result of last year´s experience."

“At the end of the day the result was very bad. Michalow´s achievement - two mares sold for 83.000 euro – is not just a failure, it’s a bloody scandal! You just cannot ignore the most important event for the whole of Polish breeding and ridicule the achievements of generations of Polish breeders!

“Those who established the greatness of Polish Arabian breeding, who created the selection system based on cooperation of state stud farms under the supervision of expert inspectors, they would collapse seeing what is happening today. It is very sad, and I am terrified thinking about the future.

“When I think of Andrzej Krzysztalowicz, Ignacy Jaworski, Izabella Pawelec-Zawadzka and imagine what they would say, I am ashamed and sad. "

“I am even afraid that there will be efforts to sell the 'family silver' – the most valuable horses. People would certainly buy because the best deal is made when buying from someone who is forced to sell. There are many out there who know how and can take advantage of such a situation. "

“I do not agree that the market for Arabian horses is weak at the moment. There are more auctions and the prices are high. When the interest was at the top in the 80’s there were lots of auctions both in the USA and elsewhere, meaning that the market had big potential.

“The crisis that followed killed most of the auctions; there was only “ours” left. Now its future is endangered. I hope that those who are responsible for Polish horse breeding will realize that and understand - unfortunately after the milk has been spilled – “IF IT AIN’T BROKEN, DON’T FIX IT.” ...

WARSAW, POLAND

A renowned Arabian horse breeding program in Poland has held a disappointing auction, selling fewer horses and raising less money than in the past, after a political purge of its managers by the country's conservative ruling party.

The yearly Pride of Poland auction at a stud farm in Janow Podlaski, in eastern Poland, was world-renowned, drawing horse breeders from around the world.

But the 200-year-old state program suffered a heavy blow to its prestige in 2015 when the newly elected Law and Justice party fired its top breeders and replaced them with party loyalists with less experience.

Government critics on Monday described this year's auction on Sunday as a fiasco. Of 25 horses, only six were sold and 410,000 euros raised. The last auction before the 2015 purge raised 4.5 million euros.

The 2015 power shift in Poland brought changes across all of Poland's state enterprises, but the changes in the Arabian breeding program got more attention than the others because it hit professionals who had built up international relationships over many years with celebrities, Arab sheikhs and other millionaires.

Some of those people are now boycotting the Polish stud farms in solidarity with the former managers.

Two out of four mares on loan to Poland from British breeder Shirley Watts, wife of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, died after the management change.

A further setback occurred at last year's auction due to suspicions that there were fake bidders who drove up prices artificially, something that the state managers denied.

Slawomir Pietrzak, the manager at Janow Podlaski, brushed off the result of this year's auction, saying there were also auctions in the past that did not have great results and that the international market is changing.

"There is an overproduction of Arabian horses, and there are more and more auctions," Pietrzak said. "That's the market situation."
