Horse Breeding Show in Sunja
(July 16-17 / 2005)
Includes: international exhibition of
the indigenous breed the Croatian Posavac, parade of horse-drawn
carts, municipal traditional arts review, entertainment and hospitality.
The municipality of Sunja is not within the limits of Lonjsko Polje
Nature Park , but this event is very important for the Park, because
most of the animals on show actually come from the area of Lonjsko
Polje. This show has made an important contribution to the popularisation
of the breeding of the Croatian Posavac, and its preservation,
and to the future genetic improvements of this noble animal. For
this reason the Public Institution Lonjsko Polje Nature Park every
year provides a special price for the animal judged best in show. Enlarge
