Summer in Hungary is traditionally rich in equestrian events, and the municipality of Iván in Győr-Moson-Sopron County continued this tradition on Saturday. For the fifth consecutive year, the village hosted a preliminary race for the prestigious National Gallop Race (Nemzeti Vágta). The event attracted numerous visitors to the Iván horse stud farm.

Particularly popular were the preliminary rounds of the horse-drawn carriage pushing competition, which provided plenty of laughs. Traditional Hungarian horse culture was brought to life by an impressive Csikós demonstration, in which the horse herders showed off their skills. Actor Tibor Buch also provided entertainment before an obstacle driving tournament demonstrated the precision and skill of the teams.

A highlight of the afternoon was undoubtedly the breathtaking Puszta Five performance, in which a Csikós (Hungarian term for horse herder) maintains control while standing on the backs of five horses – a true spectacle of Hungarian horsemanship. The varied program was rounded off by a performance by the village choir, Iváni Dalárda, which invited the audience to linger and enjoy.

This year’s National Gallop Race will take place from October 3 to 5 in Szilvásvárad. This event is the largest amateur horse race in Central and Eastern Europe and promises to be another highlight for horse lovers. The Iváner Gallop has once again proven that the Hungarian summer is inextricably linked to the fascinating world of equestrian sports and has both traditional elements and exciting competitions to offer.
