A brochure on the history of Polish equestrianism. The author recalls the profiles of Stefan Czarniecki, King Jan III Sobieski, Dezyder Chłapowski, Jan Weyssenhoff, among others.

"I have already mentioned that in Polish war memoirs we find very little detail about horses, only brief mentions of them are made, but they do not get exhaustive ones. This forgetfulness is astonishing, especially during the Napoleonic wars, when cavalry and the horse were of such great importance and an extensive field for action." [excerpt]
