Welcome
to the official website of the Hungarian Horse Association of America.
The Hungarian horse is a modern day sport horse with a long and romantic
history. The characteristics that contributed to their survival during World
War II are evident today as they excel as modern day sport, working, and
pleasure horses.
The first significant group of Hungarian horses arrived in the United States at
the end of World War II. The US confiscated them from the Germans who had
taken them from the Hungarians.

Thanks to the US Army, two Hungarian
Countesses, the Cooksley family, and Jim Edwards the breeding records were carefully and strictly continued without
a break. The Hungarian Horse Association of America was founded in 1966 to
secure continuation of the Hungarian Kisberi Felver breed. See registration for more information about the three different books within the association.
