Pope Leo XIV Receives Purebred Arabian White Horse As A Gift - Vatican

Leo XIV receives a purebred Arabian horse as a gift at the Vatican on October 15, 2025. Proton, a purebred Arabian, was given to the Pope by Andrzej Michalski, owner and founder of the Michalski Stud Farm, in Kolobrzeg-Budzistowo, Poland. Proton’s father came from the United States, and his mother was bought from a princess in Jordan. The horse was born in Poland, and Mr. Michalski purchased him as a young colt and raised him at his own stud farm. ‘When I saw the photos of the future Pope on horseback in Peru, the idea came to me that I wanted to give him a beautiful Arabian horse, one that would be worthy of him, and white, because white naturally corresponds to the Pope’s white cassock,’ Mr. Michalski said. ‘The Pope was very happy; we led the horse together. He was delighted, and we were overjoyed,’ Mr. Michalski recounted. Photo by (EV) Vatican media/ABACAPRESS.COM
