The
Csikós riding show is an interesting and exceptional programme
at the northern shore of the Balaton, for it can usually be seen only
in the real Puszta. During the 60 minute show you get an impression of
the life and the traditions of the Hungarian "horse-herdsmen",
who are called "Csikós" in Hungarian.
The field where the show takes place (see photo above) is situated close
to our farm, in the middle of a picturesque area of vineyards.Watch the
herdsmen at their work with the horses, used to riding without saddle
and stirrups, skillfully handling the whip. They show that it is with
patience and sensitivity that the horses can best be leaded. You will
admire the dressage exercises and the skill games which the Csikós
partly invented during their everyday life and work out in the Puszta.
The
famous "Puszta fiver" is the main attraction of the show. It
is also called "Hungarian post" or "Koch- fiver".
Here
are a few pictures from the show:
