Summary/Abstract: Based on so far unused sources or used only marginally, the article presents the history of the royal horse breeding site near Przemyśl and the related office of the equerry – the only one which functioned in the Crown at the end of the Middle Ages and the dawn of the early modern era. The text describes the evolution of the office’s endowment, its competencies and duties, changes in its name, and, finally, the composition of its personnel from the end of the fifteenth century to 1614, when the last holder of the office died.
