The
Mazury, also known as the Masuren, is a now extinct breed of horse. It was once a very notable breed, developed in
Poland, and was a quality riding horse. It mainly originated from the
Trakehner, and, crossed with the
Pozan went on to develop the
Wielkopolski breed.
The Mazury was bred at the stud at Liski in the Masuria region. In 1963 a Polish postage stamp showing a Mazury horse was issued.
