What defines riding in Poland?

Poland stretches from the Baltic coast south through rolling plains and lake-studded lowlands to the Sudetes and Carpathian Mountains. Białowieża Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, shelters primeval woodland and Europe's last wild bison. Poland's long horse-breeding heritage lives on in distinctive national breeds like the Polish Arabian and the Wielkopolski. Warsaw, Kraków, and Gdańsk anchor a culture shaped by eventful history and celebrated in architecture, museums, and monuments across the country.
