started when the Hungarian people are believed to have originated from
Asia. Through their great horse riding skills, they migrated to
Hungary during the 10th century which sets the beginning of
the appreciation for horse riding skills and archery among Hungarians.
Hence this became an important part of their heritage.
Dozens of horse riding schools are situated all over Hungary. The best
developed horse riding programs in Europe are available here and it is
no surprise that many people come to Hungary specifically to learn how
to ride a horse.
