Equestrian activities
Horse-breeding is a historical tradition within the Kinsky family. By the mid-1700s, the Kinský family began breed riding and hunting horses and furnished horses for cavalry. Octavian Kinsky (1813-1896) was a co-founder of the Pardubice Grand Steeplechase ( modelled on the Grand National of Liverpool) . The Kinský sport horse was bred for this occasion in the Ostrov stud farm and is still famous for its stamina and agility. Members of the Kinský family were traditionally excellent horsemen. This passion for horses is reflected by the numerous paintings which are on display in the castle, including a series by Hamilton.
