Once a year in September a parade of stallions is held at Moritzburg Castle. Saxons stud tradition goes back to the hunting passion of the Wettiner family. The most famous son of this family is Elector Augustus the Strong.
The baroque Moritzburg castle is located on an artifical island near Dresden. In the 18th century it was used by elector Friedrich August II of Saxonia, called ''August der Starke'', for hunting events and as scenery for electoral festivities.
