The breeding and preservation of the Polish pony in the RNP is carried out in near-natural conditions in a special area in the proximity of the "Echo" ponds, whereas in Florianka there is a stud farm. The Polish Pony Breeding Refuge was established in 1982. It occupies an area of about 180 ha, which encompasses forests, ponds with a dense network of dykes, and the Świerszcz Stream Valley, which serves as a watering place for the horses. At present, there are about 20 horses in the Refuge.
