Horse show
The Horse shows for 2023 are finished, thank you to everyone who visited us in Bugacpuszta, from April 2024 you will be able to see our Horse show again!
There are fields around me,
Fields far and wide, I see
All the way, to where the
Sky bends into the Earth.
/Petőfi/
Would you like to see the real Hungarian plain, which has inspired Sándor Petőfi himself so many times?
Visit Bugacpuszta, one of the most famous Hungarian plains – where tradition and views can be found together in a pristine environment.
Our Plain Program takes place entirely in the Kiskunság National Park.
Our program offers for individual guests:
We hold the program – between 1 May and 30 September – every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:30, for which you can purchase tickets at the Information desk at the entrance of the Karikás Csárda.
The venue of the show is 1.5 km from the Information Desk, which is also the entrance to the Kiskunság National Park!
This distance can be travelled by horse carriage or on foot. The carriage ride also starts from the Information Desk.
Recommended arrival time is between 10:30 am. and 11:15 am.
Our journey to the horse show leads through the endless plain. Along the way we have the opportunity to see the shepherd’s buildings (cheese storage, food wheelbarrow, wattle enclosure), the Shepherd Museum and our Indigenous Zoo
Standing at the circular structure of the Shepherd’s Museum, which stands next to centuries-old English oaks, it is possible to get an insight into the pastoral life of Bugac and the wildlife of the national park.
A short walk from the museum leads to our Indigenous Zoo, where you can see a pretty unusual group of animals! Among others, it provides home for the grey cattle, Racka sheep, mangalicas, Speckled Hungarian chicken, Naked Neck chicken and Crested chicken, Hungarian ducks, turkeys and, of course, the yellow Bugac stud, the Kisbér half-breed. Ancient Hungarian breed Komondor and our Kuvasz are new inhabitants of our park.
Our guests could try their hand at horseshoe pitching while the younger guests are able to pet some ponies!
