LEAD IN:
Hungary has a long tradition of horsemanship but the animals trained at the Epona Spanish Riding School are a cut above the rest.
Only the most skilled riders and the most talented horses make the grade at this equestrian school just west of Budapest.
STORYLINE:
Rearing up on its hind legs and perfecting its balance.
This horse is in the classroom at the Epona Spanish Riding School in Hungary.
The equestrian school was established in 2007 and hopes to revive the tradition of the pre-war Spanish Riding School of the Hungarian Royal Guards.
Now Bela's work is concentrated on schooling others in horsemanship and breeding.
