The Pomurje Gallop

One of the sixteen qualifying races of the National Gallop in Budapest is the Pomurje Gallop. The idea of the event was born in 2015. Riders compete in two categories. The first is the Hungarian Gallop, the three best riders of which qualify for the final race of the National Gallop in Budapest. The other is the Slovenian Gallop where riders from Slovenia compete. The winner of this race also qualifies for the final race in Budapest. The largest equestrian event in Prekmurje starts with an opening ceremony and horseman parade and is then followed by the semi-finals and the finals. Visitors of the all-day event are offered different workshops and showjumping but several other programmes are to be found as well. Children can take part in equestrian workshops, ride ponies or ride in a horse-drawn carriage while adults can explore various culinary specialties. The event closes with a concert.
