The Wild West within reach
What is the Wild Western week?
The Wild West is upclose. Whinnying of the horses, rumbling hooves of the cattle, bird whistle in the endless sheer and in the evening the quietly bouncing campfire – These are the things that waiting for you. In this adventurous week you can get familiar with the feeling of the western life-style with cowboys, their horses and you can try yourself in their tasks.
From those who live it on a daily-basis
What is a dream for you, it is an every day reality for us with serious challenges during our daily tasks. So maybe you will be given weird-sounding advice at first, but on the field everything will be clear when you start working with cattle…
Unique in Europe
Maybe there is no any other place in Europe where you can find a spacious area, with the appropriate knowledge and skills, legal background, safe environment and all the conditions which make it possible to try this experience.
No need to travel to the USA
Needless to mention that you will save your horse from huge stress and physical exertion as well as your pocket from financial strain.
The rushing herds through the vast fields and the unique flora and fauna will impress you both here as well.
What is the schedule?
After arrival and the first meeting on Sunday afternoon, we will hit the thick of it on Monday morning – we guarantee that you won’t be bored.

– Benő Fekete –
I am the dreamer and creator of Fekete Lovastanya. My family has been involved in animal husbandry for generations – and I’ve longed to live in the world of horses since I was a child. At first, a few thousand sheep stood in the way of it, but now our horses are in separable companions in the work with the cattle living freely on our pastures. Did I say I love them?

– Barna Győrfi –
It is often said about me, that I’m the real larrikin, tough cowboy (who started riding with pub tours anyway). I have been racing since 2006 and then saddled up for education: in addition to riders, I have been training western horses for 20 years. I especially love working from the ground – it’s good to whisper! My motto is “Don’t try. Just do it.”
