The municipality of Bábolna has relaunched its popular agricultural program for 2026, open to all local residents regardless of income. The movement aims to encourage backyard farming and help families achieve food self-sufficiency.
Bábolna is a world-renowned town in Komárom-Esztergom County, whose history is inextricably linked to equestrian culture and the National Stud Farm. The stud was established in 1789 by a decree of Emperor Joseph II and quickly became the global center for breeding the Shagya-Arabian horse, prized for its endurance and elegance. The town's architectural heart is the neoclassical stud courtyard and the manor house, which features one of the oldest indoor riding arenas in Hungary. Beyond its equine fame, Bábolna is a significant hub for modern agriculture and hosts the annual Bábolna Farmers' Days, one of the region's most important agricultural trade fairs. The Stud Farm Museum, the cemetery for legendary horses, and the local arboretum provide a unique blend of historical and natural attractions for visitors. The legacy of visionary breeders such as József Csekonics and Fadlallah el Hedad continues to define the town's identity and its international reputation in animal husbandry.
