Equine practice in Hungary is growing. There are about 75-80,000 horses in the country. This group utilizes most of the veterinary care provided in the country.
Most veterinary treatment is too expensive, in Hungary for the farmer or horse owner.
In spite of this, equine practice has grown very much in the past decade. This is because the national economy is improving. As a result, horse owners are able to pay for better veterinary care. Dr. Boa reports that 800-1100 equine patients enter the clinic at the University of Veterinary Science in Budapest. There are a few small private equine veterinary clinics in Hungary, usually with 2-3 veterinarians.
