Horse Riding Holidays in HUNGARY

Hungary has a long equestrian tradition and its citizens have retained their individual culture, customs and language through many invasions and occupations:   by the Mongols, Turkey and then Austria, followed by communist domination.  
Horses and horsemanship still play an important role in the lives of many Hungarians today. There are many stud farms scattered throughout Hungary. Carriage driving is also very popular both as a leisure activity and for farming activities. Horses are still commonly seen in rural areas pulling wagons and ploughs.  
The diverse scenery and numerous national parks enhance all horseback holidays. If you want to find authentic Hungarian cowboys then head for the huge prairie (the Puszta). Stunning Lake Balaton is Europe's largest freshwater lake. You'll also discover the many vineyards which produce the most wonderful wines. Like Ireland, Hungary places no restrictions on riders. 
Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is one of the world's most beautiful cities and we highly recommend to add a few days here. The river Danube flows through the city dividing the historic hilly Buda from the modern commercial Pest. The city is steeped in the arts and you'll discover glorious architecture and spas, particularly in Buda.
