Magyar Posta is issuing a special souvenir sheet to celebrate the tradition of Lipizzan horse breeding in Hungary.
The Lipizzan is one of the world’s exclusive breeds of horse. The stud where the breed evolved was established in the 16th century in Lipica, which is now in Slovenia. The stud was relocated to Hungary twice during the Napoleonic Wars, which was how the Lipizzan stock in Mezőhegyes came into being. In the 1950s, the Hungarian Lipizzan stock was moved to Szilvásvárad, where the soil, the weather conditions and the vegetation best resemble those in Lipica, Slovenia. The Hungarian stock is of outstanding genetic value.
