Horses have played a big role in Hungary's history. The Hungarian people are known as nation on horse or the horse people. Throughout more than 1100 years of their history, they have fought for land and food and they used the horses, even in the second world war.
Mezohegyes State Stud Farm
The Stud-farm in Mezohegyes was founded by Austrian - Hungarian Emperor Joseph II. in 1784. It used to be a major centre and organizational example of the highest standard horse breeding and animal husbandry.
Later on during the communist government's time, all companies was owned by the state, including this stud farm. When the communist government collapsed at the end of year 1990s, everyone tried to take a piece of this stud farm. Then several years later, the present government decided to re-built, update not only the stud farm, but all Mezohegyes. You can see the end results on this video.
There are three different kind of well know indigenous Hungarian horse breeds today in Hungary. The most popular is Nonius. All of them originated from the Mezőhegyes Stud. We visit Mezohegyes today.
