Equestrian sport events across the border

The project's aim is to promote cooperation between Hungarian and Serbian equestrian organizations by organizing equestrian sports events of cultural and touristic significance. The activities are designed to increase the visibility of the border region and promote sports and social issues. Joint training sessions and competitions provide opportunities for all age groups, especially for young people, and are open to anyone interested. The events strengthen the cultural and social bonds and build sustainable, long-term relationships among the participants.

The main goal of the project was to strengthen cooperation and promote equestrian sports and horse-drawn carriages in the border region, especially among children and young people. By bringing together all stakeholders and organizing equestrian events of cultural and touristic importance, the project ensured the sustainable development of traditional opportunities. Through horse and carriage driving activities and events, EQUESTSPORT CB brought together participants and residents of the border region, providing greater visibility for the region, while at the same time promoted sport and social issues. Within the project, 19 events were organized on both sides of the border.
