A brief history: From love of horses to national phenomenon
The National Equestrian Festival is not just an event – it is a declaration of love for the elegance and power of the horse. Launched more than a decade ago, the festival has evolved from a simple local gathering to a national landmark, annually attracting breeders, trainers and spectators from all over the country.
For horse enthusiasts, this festival is an opportunity to show off their equine pride, learn from the best and spend time in a community that understands and respects the noble animal.
