The story

Ljubicevo Equestrian Games in Pozarevac

Ljubicevo Equestrian Games, held each early September near Pozarevac, trace their roots to the Ljubicevo stud farm founded in 1860 when Prince Milos Obrenovic donated his Morava estate, later renamed for Princess Ljubica in 1866. Formal racing developed through the Knez Mihajlo riders club in the late 19th century, and the modern games reached their 60th edition in 2023.

The Ljubicevo stud farm's history begins not with a festival but with a donation.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few equestrian events in Europe trace as continuous a lineage as Ljubicevo, whose stud farm origins go back to 1860, when Prince Milos Obrenovic donated his Morava estate and relocated an earlier stable founded near Cuprija by Aleksandar Karadjordjevic

02

The mystery stays covered

Renamed Ljubicevo in 1866 under Prince Mihailo, honoring Princess Ljubica, Milos's wife, the farm became the center of formal horse racing through the Knez Mihajlo riders club, part of the Dunavsko kolo association, in the late 19th century, with meets such as a 1932 race day featuring four races and more than 100 horses

03

The city starts moving

That history has earned the games recognition on Yugoslav and Serbian postage stamps, issued in 1987 and 2017, and the modern competition, held the first week of September in Pozarevac, reached its 60th edition in 2023
