The resulting animal is one of incredible stamina that is easy to work with and ride. <\/p>\n<p>In 1780 the Austro-Hungarian Empire established a government breeding plan using three breeding farms who had very standards for breeding and the breed flourished. That is until the second World War when stud farms were hastily evacuated by the German army to Bavaria before the Russians invaded Hungary. During this time an army Colonel took a liking to the Hungarian animals and brought about 150 of them back to the states. <\/p>\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n<p>Average height 15.5-16.5 hands<\/p>\n<h3>Physique<\/h3>\n<p>Head is well-defined<br \/>\nRibs are well-sprung<br \/>\nMuscular hindquarters<br \/>\nLegs strong with large joints<\/p>\n<h3>Traditional Colors<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/colors\/modifiers\/bay\">bay<\/a> | <a href=\"\/colors\/base\/black\">black<\/a> | <a href=\"\/colors\/modifiers\/brown\">brown<\/a> <\/p>\n<h3>Temperament<\/h3>\n<p>Intelligent and kind<\/p>\n<h3>Use<\/h3>\n<p>Traditional sport<br \/>\nRiding<\/p>\n<h3>Helpful Links<\/h3>\n<p><small>* all links open in a new window<\/small><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hungarianhorseassociation.com\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hungarian Horse Association of America<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>More Images<\/h3>\n<div class=\"grid-two\">\n<div class=\"grid-two-one\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/hungarian-horse.webp\" alt=\"Hungarian Horse\" load=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-two-two\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/hungarian-horse-2.webp\" alt=\"Hungarian Horse\" load=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Video<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CiYsphB1XWA?si=EdfliPdOg8q6WO-2\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intro The Hungarian Horse can be traced back to the original people that settled the Carpathian basin 1,000 years ago called the Magyars.
