After several years of meetings, proposals and counterproposals, and negotiations, the two became one. The new organization, Arabian Horse Association, located in Aurora, Colorado, combines the services and activities of both organizations. The world noted the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Michalow State Stud in Poland. Post-World War II, Polish Arabians were repatriated to Poland and sent to temporary studs, as Janow Podlaski State Stud was nearly destroyed by war action. Michalow State Stud was first occupied in 1953 and horses were transferred from temporary housing. Ignacy Jaworowski was appointed director and developed a breeding program based largely on Arabian type. A successful program, long before the fiftieth anniversary, Michalow had become internationally known for its ability to produce top show horses. Between the years 1965 and 2001, Michalow horses brought in nearly 400 international championships, reserves, and top tens — 47 at Canadian Nationals, 66 at U.S. Nationals, 89 at Polish Nationals, and 21 in All Nations Cup and Salon du Cheval competition. Pennsylvanian Cia Reis won the Pan-American Endurance Championship. Aboard her purebred Arabian Catch A Wave (So-Neat x Cal-Bint Surf ), Cia covered the 100-mile course in 9 hours and 14 minutes, besting a field of 89 riders from seven time zones. First Sport Horse Nationals held. Classes included dressage, hunter, jumper, equitation, in-hand, and under-saddle events. Longtime Arabian horse breeder Sheila Varian was inducted into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas. One of four inductees chosen, Sheila was selected for the honor from a group of over 400 nominees.
