a HORSES IN HUNGARY. 
For centuries horse breeding has been one of the leading agricul- 
tural industries of Hungary. In the west, southwest, and south- 
east (Yoivodina) the larger, stronger, and more energetic horses of a 
type suitable for carriage work were deyeloped. In the northern 
and northeastern districts along the ranges of the Carpathians and 
among the mountain districts of Transylvania smaller, tougher horses 
were found. On the central plains between the Danube and the 
Tisza Rivers within the present boundaries of Hungary the popular 
types were light, medium-sized saddle and coach horses. 
The whole horse-breeding industry of the old Kingdom centered 
about government stables, but there were many private establish- 
ments. The favorite breeds of horses were English thoroughbreds, 
English half-bloods, Arabs, American trotters, and to a less degree 
fast native breeds. 
The manner in which tin 4 stallion's, mares, and geldings were dis- 
tributed throughout the old Kingdom is shown in Table 45. The 
districts where breeding is most intensified is indicated by a higher 
ratio of mares.
