Princess Kako visited Bábolna

On the 21st September we had the honor to welcome Princess Kako from Japan on the Stud Farm.

The Princess visited us on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of establishing the Japanese-Hungarian diplomatic relations. Ambassadors from Japan visited Bábolna 130 years ago to choose horses for the Imperial Court, where we can still find horses out of Hungarian bloodlines.

Princess Kako, accompanied by the Minister of Agriculture István Nagy, also made a short trip to the estate with the famous five-in-hand.

After this we had the opportunity to present the horses bred on the Stud Farm – Salamat B, Purebred Arabian, Gazal XIX-2 Shagya-Arabian and Firsty, the Thoroughbred – in our historic Riding Hall.
