The name literally translates to "glass types" or "glass varieties" in Hungarian, referring to the unusual use of glass objects as hurdles.

The sport of üvegfajták is considered a niche discipline within the broader category of equestrian events. It is believed to have originated in the 1990s, with its first competitions held in Hungary. Since its inception, the sport has gained a dedicated following, particularly in Eastern Europe, where equestrian sports are popular.

Competitors in üvegfajták are typically judged on their ability to navigate the glass obstacles while maintaining control of their horses. The course may include a variety of glass hurdles, ranging from small, intricately carved stones to larger, elaborate frameworks. Riders are penalized for refusal or failure to clear an obstacle, while correct execution of the course earns them points.

The discipline is considered a test of both horse and rider skills, as they must work together to overcome the unique challenges presented by the glass obstacles. Üvegfajták competitions often feature a mix of experienced equestrian enthusiasts and newcomers, adding an element of unpredictability to the events.
