Tourism in this area is characterized by individual agrotourism. You rent a room for dining with a peasant family. Many farmers have 2-3 horses to ride. There are also riding schools and smaller boarding houses. Prices are very low. The typical horse from Bieszczady is the so-called hucul horse, a small horse that is used to moving in the mountain terrain.

In Polish agriculture, 550 000 horses are used as labor.
You can meet horses both in the countryside and in the smaller towns. You use them in agriculture and as a means of transport. You can buy horses in the horse markets, which are known by everyone who needs to sell or buy a work horse. Often people travel a long way to get to the big horse markets; you buy your horse and ride it back. Eg. there is such a market in Sokółki in northeastern Poland.

riding horses
There is a very old tradition of riding horses in Poland. In the army, horses were used well up in time. As late as World War II, Polish soldiers on horseback fought against motorized German soldiers.

breeding
There are several places in Poland where you breed and breed horses. Until World War II, it was the Polish state that was responsible for having enough riding horses, specifically for use by the army. During the war, the stock of horses was drastically reduced. After the war, some of the former stud farms have been re-established. Riding horses are a significant export product for Poland and are sold mainly to the United States.
