The Akhal Teke is a breed that ancient Magyars rode during the conquest of the land of Hungary today. This horse is famous for its high level of comfort… an ancient treasure from the mystical world of the Orient… During a 300 km long tour in 2010 it proved that the legends about it are true…

In the largest part of the journey we ride through the rich and unspoilt flora and fauna of the landscape zones…
We ride about 25-35 km/day, but of course there are differences between the days.


HORSES AND SADDLES:
During our riding tours you can discover the landscapes affected by our journey, riding the horse of the hungarian conquestors, the legendary Akhal Teke. This is the breed with which our history is intertwined and is famous for its special comfort…

Not only the horses, but also our saddles are special: Self-made Hungarian-style saddles, modernized for today’s riding needs and horses. They are extremely safe and comfortable, proven to be extremely usable during the tours of recent years…
