FIVE...more

Ohmygoodness! Heidi just reminded me of the "perfect" five; this is, in Hungary, called (and it is famous) "The Five-in-Hand". In the Hortobagy, which is the wild country, or you may have heard of it as the Eastern Steppes, ancient warriors established horsemanship competitions during their boring times. This one is where the rider stands on the bare backs of 2 horses and drives 3 more in front of him and they ride flat-out, like the wind. The challenge: none of the 5 horses is harnessed together! Thus, the name, as 5 separate reins control 5 separate horses.
