Visits of stud farms and training centers










M.SZCZYPIORSKI, General Secretary of the Polish Equestrian Federation :

« On behalf of the Polish Pony Committee and the entire Polish Equestrian Federation, I would like to thank you very much indeed for inviting the Polish delegates to the French Pony Finals.
In particular, I would like to thank you and your organisation for the extremely warm reception and hospitality they received. From my conversation with them after their return I learnt that no effort was spared to show them as much as possible of the organisation and running of such a huge event as well as of the everyday life of your society. This is particulary important for us because we are currently at a stage of development gaining momentum, and we are seeking to draw on the experience of more advanced organisations to model our own. Hence contact with U.N.I.C. you offer of on-going co-operation is a great opportunity for us.

Once again thank you very much, we look forward to being in contact with you in due course and pursuing what has been so successfully initiated ».
