Since ancient times, man has ridden horses. Ancient Greeks and Romans, who did so mostly for utilitarian purposes, also found that horse riding was the source of rider’s health, recommending equestrianism to men and women of different ages as an exercise that helped preserve a healthy body. Poles, a nation whose history was always linked in a rather exceptional way with horses and horsemanship, realized quite early, at the beginning of the 17th century, that horse riding offered a variety of applications and could be used as a tool to improve human fitness and physical condition. Views of Polish hippologists such as Krzysztof Moniwid Dorohostajski and Marian Hutten-Czapski on health-related benefits of equestrianism gained popularity not only in Poland but also abroad. At the beginning of the 20th century, their opinions were endorsed by a Polish doctor, Władysław Hojnacki, who campaigned for horse riding to be used as therapy. After WW2, a distinguished Polish orthopedist and physiotherapist, Professor Marian Weiss introduced an innovative hippotherapeutic program at the Medical Center for Rehabilitation of the Locomotive Organs in Konstancin near Warsaw, finding many followers who helped hippotherapy to develop. Research confirmed that horse riding was indeed an effective form of therapy and this soon led to the establishment of the Polish Hippotherapeutic Society, organization of conferences and seminars providing a platform where views and research results could be exchanged, and starting a number of equestrian facilities across the country that popularized hippotherapy in Poland.

Short tandem repeat (STR) loci, i.e. microsatellites are a class of genetic markers commonly used for population studies and parentage control. This study determined the usefulness of microsatellite markers recommended by International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) for identification and pedigree analysis in horses based on the example of Polish Hucul horse population (Equus caballus). The set of seventeen microsatellites loci was tested (AHT4, AHT5, ASB2, HMS2, HMS3, HMS6, HMS7, HTG10, HTG4, HTG6, HTG7, VHL20, ASB17, ASB23, CA425, HMS1, LEX3) for 216 individuals. All samples were genotyped and mean number of alleles per locus was estimated (7.00). Means of observed (Ho) and expected (He) heterozygosity were calculated 0.7288 and 0.7027, respectively. The observed heterozygosity was similar to the results of research on Hucul horse population in another area of Carpathians Mountains. The average polymorphism information content (PIC) for analyses of seventeen microsatellite markers indicates the usefulness of this set of markers for Hucul horse parentage testing.

Wspólna podróż człowieka i konia, rozpoczęła się wiele tysięcy lat temu. Historyczny i kulturowy proces rozwoju społeczeństw odzwierciedla w każdym swoim cyklu rozwojowym powiązania człowieka z koniem. Rozwój cywilizacji wyeliminował konia z większości jego pierwotnych funkcji usługowych, lecz unikalny kształt budowy jego ciała oraz inne zalety zapewniły mu poczesne miejsce we współczesnym świecie. W obecnych czasach mamy możliwość wykorzystania różnorodnych technik i metod pracy z osobą niepełnosprawną. Jednym z takich narzędzi terapeutycznych jest koń, a terapia z jego udziałem umożliwia holistyczne podejście do pacjenta, traktując go jako indywidualność [1]. Celem pracy jest dokonanie analizy dotyczącej przydatności i sposobów wykorzystania konia do pracy z pacjentem.

The common journey of man and a horse began many thousands years ago. Historical and cultural process of societies' development reflects relations between man and a horse in each developing cycle. Civilization development excluded a horse from the majority of its original serviced functions, but unique building shape of its body and the other values gave it important position in the modern world. At present we have possibility to use different techniques and methods of working with disabled person. One of these therapeutic "tools" is a horse and the therapy with its presence gives the possibility for holistic treatment of patient - it treats him as individuality [1]. The aim additionally, the aim of the thesis is also to analyze aptitude and ways of horse's use in working with patient.

The relationship between man and horse goes back to prehistoric times. Horses are among the most significant human domesticated animals. Currently, due to mechanization, the role of horses as an economic resource has decreased, but their recreational role is still important. Taking into account frequent contact with humans, they are of great importance as a potential source of allergens, constituting a significant cause of various allergic reactions. The article describes a case of an acute allergic reaction in a patient with bronchial asthma after contact with a horse allergen, which was brought along with the clothing of a person who had contact with the animal. The frequency of allergies, the prevalence and types of allergens as well as anaphylactic reactions to horses are discussed. The application of diagnostics based on allergen components was discussed, as well as component diagnostics performed in the patient in the context of allergy to panallergens from the lipocalin group was described

Związek człowieka z koniem sięga czasów prehistorycznych. Konie to jedne z najbardziej znaczących zwierząt udomowionych przez człowieka. Aktualnie z uwagi na mechanizację rola koni jako środka gospodarczego uległa zmniejszeniu, jednakże ich rola rekreacyjna nadal jest istotna. Biorąc pod uwagę częsty kontakt z człowiekiem, mają one duże znaczenie jako potencjalne źródło alergenów, stanowiąc istotną przyczynę różnorodnych reakcji alergicznych. W pracy opisano przypadek ostrej reakcji alergicznej, u pacjentki z astmą oskrzelową, po kontakcie z alergenem konia, który został przyniesiony wraz z odzieżą osoby mającej kontakt ze zwierzęciem. Omówiono częstość występowania alergii, rozpowszechnienie i rodzaje alergenów oraz przypadki reakcji anafilaktycznych na konia. Przybliżono zastosowanie diagnostyki opartej o komponenty alergenowe, a także opisano diagnostykę komponentową wykonaną u pacjentki w kontekście uczulenia na panalergeny z grupy lipokalin.
