About the Hungarian Shagya Breed
.As equine skulls dating from the period
of the Magyar invasion show, the Hungarian horse had prevailing
characteristics of the wild tarpan with certain admixture of
the blood of the Mongolian horse. It was a hardy, primitive
breed, late maturing, small, and possessed of great endurance.
Later on numerous Turkish invasions were responsible for introducing
to the Hungarian horse a strong dose of oriental blood by crossing
with Arab, Turkish and Persian stallions. The Hungarian farmers’
horse is a descendant of this horse, although some changes have
occurred in it because of the large number of half-bred horses
which spread their influence all over the country.
It is a light horse standing roughly about 15 hands, with very
good strong legs, intelligent head and lively temperament, used
for both saddle and harness. It is bred on a rather rough manner,
fed only on maize, oat straw and grass, and taken in to work
as a two-year-old. This native stock was excellent material
for establishing the new, popular Hungarian breeds, which were
bred on a large scale for military purposes in the days of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The best Hungarian breed, which can in fact be considered as
a special kind of Arab half-bred, is the Shagya. The name is
derived from a stallion of that name which was responsible for
the foundation of the breed. There is a tradition still adhered
to that stallions of this breed have the same name with the
addition of a Roman number, which shows to which generation
after the original Shagya the horse belongs. Genetically this
breed was very well established, thanks to much careful inbreeding.
The Shagya is an extremely hardy horse, standing from 14 to
15 hands, an excellent mover, thriving on very little food and
having not only looks but also most of the qualities of Arab.
In colour most of them are grey. The horse, being the best light-cavalry
and light-carriage horse, is bred all over Hungary and the neighbouring
countries. The main stud is in Babolna. Many of the Shagya stallions
after 1918 were imported to Poland and caused great improvement
to appear in Polish horse breeding, especially in the southern
part of Poland.
