Day 2 - Monday
A Hungarian farmers’ breakfast is a great way to start the day followed by an introductory ride to get acquainted with your horse. 
This first ride will give you an opportunity to experience the openness of the country; the seemingly never-ending sandy tracks, meadows and marsh lands. Enjoy lunch on the garden terrace. Have a rest at the pool side and meet for tea or coffee and be ready for a late afternoon ride through lovely forests of pine, acacia and poplar trees of the surrounding neighborhood.
For dinner you will have the chance to try seasonal, homemade, traditional dishes. Night in guest rooms on the farm.

After breakfast, set off on a ride which will take you past fruit plantations, small farmsteads with crops of the local speciality, Hungarian red pepper or paprika, so hot it takes your breath away! Return to the farm for lunch, or you may stop for lunch by the side of a lake, where a local fisherman will prepare a traditional Hungarian soup for you called “Halaszle”. During this afternoon's ride, you may be lucky enough to spot the Hungarian Longhorn Cattle.
In the evening, try 'Bogracs' Goulash a Hungarian dish cooked over open fire. Night in guest rooms on the farm.

After breakfast, set off on a day ride through the Puszta. On the other side of a paved road you will find shady forests rich in wildlife. After a long canter along preserved areas, you find a local tavern for your lunch break. After relaxing, perhaps have some flat out gallop on the rolling plains this afternoon.
This evening surprises you with a traditional Hungarian feast “Mulatság” accompanied by some live zither music. After supper you will have the chance to learn to dance the Hungarian 'csárdás'... Night in guest rooms on the farm.

This morning you might have a later brunch, followed by the chance to book a massage to ease your tired riding with a relaxing back or full body massage. For those who would like a massage, this treat will be offered for an extra fee by a trained massage therapist. There is also a possibility to purchase gifts like home made farmerś products, handicrafts and traditional clothes at the farm.
After a light lunch prepared at the farm, you will hack towards the old bunker which was used during the Revolution in 1956. This ride provides a good flattened out gallop across the open plains and some shady forest tracks to cool down.
Later you may explore the Puszta in a typical Hungarian horse drawn cart which will drop you off at the thermal spa of Mórahalom. The spa welcomes you in winter with 16 and in summer with 21 different pools. Apart from medical water with high mineral content, there are saunas, steam baths, adventure pools and a 15000m2 green park.
Dinner at a Hungarian restaurant where you can sample an array of splendid local dishes and night in the guest rooms of the farm.
