The association called Mátai Ménes from Hortobágy travelled to Windsor this week to take part in the worldwide-known Royal Windsor Horse Show from May 8-12. This year, the celebration was organised in honour of Queen Victoria’s 200th birthday. The horses of the Hungarian delegacy became the celebration’s favourites even before they walked out to perform.
Femina reported that the sight of the beautiful, strong and unique Hungarian horses from Hortobágy even got the attention of the Times wherein the Wednesday issue, the picture of the day featured one of the Hungarian horsemen with his horse. Besides the Times, other newspapers like The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, the BBC, and the most popular newspaper about horses and horse-riding the Horse & Hound featured pictures about Mátai Ménes.
“We brought the same show to Windsor we perform every day in Hortobágy. Usually, we performed during the evening for 7–7 minutes in two blocks and on Saturday morning.” – said Péter Szladek, the touristic and marketing director of Mátai Ménes.
The Royal Windsor Horse Show prepared with ninety-minute-long shows evening by evening with sixteen horse- and dance-teams; featuring almost four hundred horses and six hundred participants.
