The Pannon Equestrian Academy is one of the main units of Kaposvár University. It plays an active role within the educational programmes of the university in many ways, specifically in the teaching and training of students who are specializing in equestrian sports. Its unique infrastructure makes it possible to learn the theory and carry out the practice at the same time at a very high level. The Academy hosts prestigious national and international championships: e.g. the Dressage CDI3*W event, show-jumping, vaulting events, and the military type of equestrian sports known also as Horse Trials. The Academy provides a training place both for full-time and correspondence students following Degree Courses in Stud Farm Manager, Animal Husbandry Engineer or Agricultural Engineer at the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Our equine centre is responsible for the professional education of the following new BSc Degree Courses in 2014/2015: Horse Breeding, and Equine Sports Management Engineering.

 

Furthermore, the Academy also participates in the organisation and education of professional courses for Farriers and Horse Trainers, as well as in the curative procedures of Therapeutic Horse Training. For all these activities the Academy disposes of three covered riding- halls and a four-season outdoor track. Pannon Equestrian Academy is one of the centers of the domestic horse specialist training, which is also a special training location of the Hungarian Equestrian Federation.
