Moszna Horse Stud

Moszna Horse Stud (Polish: Stadnina Koni Moszna; French: Haras de Moszna) is a Thoroughbred horse breeding operation located in Moszna, Poland, near the historic Moszna Castle. It was established in 1948 when 25 Thoroughbred mares were transferred to the buildings of the estate that had belonged before the war to Count von Tiele-Winckler. These mares came mainly from private Polish breeding farms that existed before the Second World War. For a long period the stud operated as a state-owned national stud farm. In 1994 it was transformed into the Moszna State Treasury Horse Stud. During the first half of the 1990s it became a limited liability company with a single share held by the State Treasury (represented by the Agricultural Property Agency of the State Treasury). In February 2001 the company was privatized while retaining the name Moszna Horse Stud. Today the stud and the adjacent castle form a tourist site that attracts several thousand visitors each year, both Polish and foreign. The stud is a member of the Polish Horse Breeders Association and the Polish Thoroughbred Breeders Association. Horses born at Moszna have achieved success on racecourses in Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy and England, winning more than 200 recorded races. Notable successes include Only Juris, a horse bred at Moszna that distinguished itself during its racing season in 1968, and Galileo, winner at Cheltenham Racecourse in England in the Queen Mother's Award in 2001 (in the racehorse and Thoroughbred category). The stud maintains an official website at moszna.pl.

The Moszna Horse Stud was created in 1948, when 25 Thoroughbred mares were moved into the buildings of the Moszna estate, which before the Second World War had belonged to Count von Tiele-Winckler. The mares came mainly from private Polish breeding farms that had operated before the war. For many decades the stud functioned as a national stud farm owned by the Polish State. In 1994 it was transformed into the Moszna State Treasury Horse Stud. During the first half of the 1990s it became a limited liability company with a single share held by the State Treasury, represented by the Agricultural Property Agency of the State Treasury. In February 2001 the company was privatized, keeping the name Moszna Horse Stud. The stud and the nearby Moszna Castle now form a tourist destination that draws several thousand visitors annually, both Polish and international. The stud is a member of the Polish Horse Breeders Association and the Polish Thoroughbred Breeders Association. Horses bred at Moszna have won more than 200 recorded races on tracks in Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy and England. Notable horses include Only Juris, which stood out in its 1968 racing season, and Galileo, winner at Cheltenham Racecourse in England in the Queen Mother's Award in 2001 in the racehorse and Thoroughbred category. The stud also has a related connection to the Haras de Prudnik, a stud that until 1968 depended on Moszna.
