The Némethy Horseback Archery Academy is a key developer and active shaper of both Hungarian and international horseback archery, as well as a guardian of its traditions. Our goal is to create the conditions for joyful and successful participation in the sport. Every member of the Némethy Horseback Archery Academy works to make horseback archery accessible to everyone, regardless of whether they are professional athletes or hobbyists. We support the formation of new communities, organize knowledge-sharing programs, and promote a love for the sport among athletes and fans alike. Through a modern, experience-based approach, we aim to inspire those interested in horseback archery in all that we do.
Focus - Commitment - Connection
The Némethy Horseback Archery Academy is a dedicated community operating on family, friendship, national, and international foundations. At our horseback riding base in the Hungarian Castle of Pomáz, we regularly welcome both international and local visitors who seek adventure and wish to learn from our world-class coaches shaping the everyday practice of horseback archery.

Building the sport is essential for peace and cooperation between different schools.
2006, 2007
In 2006, Christoph Nemethy was ranked 10th in Lajos Kassai's ranking, and a year later he was already in 5th place. This impressive progress inspired the founding of the Nemethy Academy. The founders, confident in their knowledge and skills, began holding horseback, archery, and horseback archery training sessions, initially abroad.

Community building, a celebration of sport. For us, competitions are not just contests but also celebrations of the sport. These are occasions when we meet, connect, and exist together towards a common goal. Alongside individual performance, camaraderie, attention to one another, and support hold equal value.
It is typical for our competitors to fight not only for themselves but also to help each other during competitions – whether it's encouragement, technical assistance, or simply being present. But the community doesn't stop at the field: parents, siblings, and friends actively participate in the Academy's life, often contributing to the success of events through volunteer work.
This community is our true strength – where everyone matters, and everyone can contribute something to the shared experience.

Our Academy is...
... a sports center where competitive horseback archery can be practiced at a high level.
... a training venue where we teach both youth and adults, from beginners to advanced levels.
... a place where traditional horseback archery connects with the modern online world.
The main activities of our Academy include
- holding regular horseback archery training sessions and courses for all age groups,
- organizing and participating in national and international competitions,
- operating and developing a unique online training system and gamified learning platform, making the theory and practice of horseback archery accessible to everyone — without geographical or physical limitations.
We believe that horseback archery is not just a sport but a way of life, a path to character development, and a shared community experience. Our goal is to ensure that future generations also understand and feel what it means to be a horseback archer: to respect nature, discipline the mind, strengthen the body — all together, for one another.
