Horse riding in Transcarpathia: what are the Hutsuliks?
Hutsul horses, or Hutsuliks - are small in stature (up to 150 cm), yet they have a sturdy build and are remarkable for their incredible stamina and endurance. The Hutsuls bred this horse to travel across mountainous terrain with steep landscapes and where there is no road at all. Such a horse can still give any off-roader a run for its money! Today the Hutsulik horse holds the status of a rare breed and is regarded as something of a symbol and pride of the Carpathians.
