This weekend, between 18 and 20 May, an equestrian festival will be held in Ópusztaszer which is the largest of its kind in the Carpathian Basin. The aim of the event is preservation and revival of equestrian traditions.

The festival is part of the First European Hussar Convention and will stage the Ópusztaszer heats for the ‘National Gallop’. Hundreds of horses and riders from Hungary and abroad are taking part in the festival.
