Reportedly, there is nothing more beautiful than a galloping horse, and contact with this friendly animal ensures active leisure, raises adrenaline levels, and is a cure for stress in this modern, busy world. A fleet English thoroughbred steed, an elegant Arab, a small Polish Pony and Hutsuls, a Małopolska and Wielkopolska saddle horse – each of them is a synonym of adventure and beauty.

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.
