Not only you’ll hear about horses in many folk songs, but they are also irreplaceable part of The Ride of the Kings, a famous traditional folklore festival during which horses are abundantly decorated with ribbons and garlands. This feast, impressively pictured by renowned Moravian painter Joža Úprka (1861-1940), is still regularly held in Hluk, Kunovice and Vlčnov. Besides glittering wine and traditional recruit dances called Verbuňk, The Ride of the Kings is one of typical features of Moravian Slovakia. Whereas The Ride of the Kings welcomes spring and summer, St. Hubert’s Ride, another cultural and equestrian event, is linked with melancholic autumn atmosphere. St. Hubert’s Ride is held in honor of the patron saint of hunters and should commemorate the tradition of fox-hunting in the region. You can visit St. Hubert’s Ride for instance in Prusinovice or Kněžpole.
