Discover nature with horses

For the passionate horse lover, there is no greater happiness than to sit astride your four-legged companion; and whilst riding is no doubt a sport, a horse is no “normal” piece of sports equipment. When riding you are not just exercising fitness and balance, but also discovering beautiful places and landscapes in the company of a great friend.

From workhorse to leisure horse

Originally, horses were the means of locomotion and facilitation of work par excellence. Whether in the saddle, on a carriage or a sleigh, a horse was a much quicker way to reach a destination than on foot. The strong animals also helped with agricultural and forestry work.

Nowadays, at least in the industrialised countries, the use of horses has largely shifted to sports, leisure and therapy.

On the road with horses

Spending your free time with a horse does not necessarily mean going for a ride. Equestrian sports include numerous and very different types of riding, which can be practised as a hobby or professionally.

Every horse lover has his or her own preferences - whether dressage, show jumping, vaulting, carriage driving, sleigh riding or polo. The individual disciplines each have their own challenges, require different equipment and are suitable for different breeds of horses.
