Providing children, teens and adults with fun-filled opportunities to build cross-cultural friendships, practice English, and learn horsemanship the natural way in a Christian setting:


Hungary Horse Center

• Location: For now Hungary Horse Center is located in the village of Pilisborosjenő [map], just outside Óbuda, northwest of Budapest, convenient by mass transit from the city but bordering beautiful national forest trails (as seen in the movie Eragon, much of which was filmed in the local area.)

Whether you are a native English speaking volunteer or a Hungarian or expat student, you can join Summer 2008 English Horse Camps (July 13-19, ages 10-19 and July 21-22, ages 5-9)

Exciting News! - The Greenawalt horse camps will be joining with those of Dr. Gábor and Gabi Győri this summer (2008) in Lajosmizse as the two efforts merge to become Morningstar Ranch and Ministries.

The Tiborcz Horse Ranch is more than just a stable. Services are in strict compliance with international standards. Located among gently rolling hills the horse ranch extends over 75 acres and includes indoor and outdoor riding grounds and corrals.

The family who owns and runs the ranch is happy to serve all who enjoy the beauty of horseback riding. I used to go with some regularity in the last 2-3 years and my only complaint was that I needed to call several days early if I wanted to ride. Each horse is just allowed to ‘work’ a limited number of hours each day (have you ever wished you were a horse?). This also shows that the Tiborczes devote great attention to their horses, which are kept in secure modern stalls. Foals receive special tender loving care in a separate stable.

You are welcome to ride at the Tiborcz horse ranch throughout the whole year. Everyone from the beginner to the experienced rider will feel at home; and trained instructors are available. The covered riding ground guarantees a fun riding experience no matter what the weather is like.

Services include:

• Horseback riding
• Trail riding
• Riding instructions
• Carriage and sleigh riding
• Horse boarding

They even speak English! You can visit there any time (a great family outing when the weather is good) - but call ahead to schedule your ride!

Enjoy the picturesque countryside from the back of a well-trained saddle-horse, or taste their delicious venison BBQ! You will have a special time. The horse ranch is also able and happy to host your family events, such as wedding receptions, birthday parties and other celebrations.
