Hungarian Warmblood horse

Country Of Origin Hungary
History and Background The Hungarian Sport Horse is a horse breed that originated in Hungary and was developed mainly for use in equestrian and other horse-related sports.
The Hungarian Sport Horse is bred for four main types of horse competition: racing, trotting, jumping, and dressage. Each Hungarian Sport Horse is classified only after it has been evaluated through the use of specialized tests. These tests usually require the accomplishment of the following: dressage, cross-country, 5,000-meter trot, two 1,000-meter trots, and an obstacle course to test the horse’s galloping abilities. Different tests apply for mares and stallions.
The field tests commence when the horse is four years old. Stallions that pass the tests are used as studs, thus ensuring the continuity of the breed and the fine qualities with which it is associated.
