What is a shagya horse?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>model
The Shagya, Arab shagya or Arabian Shagya, is a breed of warm-blooded saddle horses, originating from what is now Hungary at the time of the Austrian Empire. Very close to the Arabian, it is larger and generally sports a gray coat, like the founding stallion from which it took its name. Created from 1789 at the Bábolna stud farm to remount the armies of the empire whose cavalry needs were immense, the breed enjoyed great success throughout the 19th century. It became the mount of the hussars of the Austrian Empire and then of Austria-Hungary. The Shagya almost disappeared several times in the 20th century, notably during the two world wars and in the 1970s, which pushed breeders who were then dispersed to come together to ensure its preservation.

Shagya is now gaining a good reputation for its excellent endurance performance. It is often cited as one of, if not the best, breeds for a rider competing in this discipline. It can be ridden in many other equestrian sports as well as recreational riding, but is not very suitable for beginner riders.

The breed remains quite rare, since there were 4,000 or 5,000 individuals around the world at the start of the 21st century. This horse is now widely bred in Germany; it was exported to many countries, including the United States in 1947. In France, the Shagya has been recognized as a foreign breed of saddle horse since 1989.<end_of_turn><eos>
