The stud farm in Janów Podlaski, currently owned by the Agricultural Property Agency, was the first state horse breeding farm on Polish soil. It was established in 1817 by the Administrative Council of the Kingdom of Poland with the task of rebuilding the herd of good-bred horses, decimated during the Napoleonic Wars. Until the outbreak of World War I, the stud farm was managed by Tsarist officials. In 1914, the horses from the Janów stud farm were taken deep into Russia.

During the Second Polish Republic, the stud farm in Janów Podlaski was recreated, and the horses from it were used for mass breeding for the needs of the Polish cavalry. During World War II, the Germans evacuated the horses to the vicinity of Cologne, from where they returned to Poland in 1946, and from 1950, several dozen of them found themselves again in Janów, where the destroyed stables were rebuilt.

After the war, Janów Podlaski grew into the world's leading center for breeding Arabian horses, which is confirmed by numerous awards won at prestigious shows and high prices for horses sold. In 1981, at an auction in Janów Podlaski, the stallion El Paso achieved a price of 1 million dollars, and in 1985, at an auction organized in the USA, the mare Penicylina z Janów was sold for 1.5 million dollars. In 2015, the mare Pepita was auctioned in Janów Podlaski for 1.4 million euros.
