In general
In cooperation with the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb, we continuously provide professional education for students of the said faculty, and now we are in the process of creating conditions for the implementation of therapeutic riding programs for children with disabilities.
In 1990 and 1991, we successfully taught the cadets of the police cavalry unit.

The Croatian Equestrian Parliament was conceived as an exhibition of all horses, regardless of breed, value, purpose, and the first was held in 1992 in Maksimir, with 180 horses participating. The festival was gradually enriched, for example, by judging horses, holding tournaments, performing four-wheelers, an art colony, and exhibiting paintings.
The first competition was organized in 1993 in Umag, where it was held for the next five years and had the status of an ATP tennis tournament. In 2001 it was held in Sinj, and in 2004 in Ilok.
