Discover the Sauerland on horseback

Exciting equestrian sports, varied riding experiences and more - the Sauerland offers a whole range of highlights for horse lovers. Whether riding through the countryside at a brisk trot or being pulled through the countryside in a carriage for a change, riders of all ages and families with young horse fans will find what they are looking for at one of the numerous equestrian farms - where children can not only get to know riding, but also stable life. In addition, many farms offer guest stalls, so guests can bring their own horse right along. And of course, the Sauerland also has first-class equestrian events to offer. Events such as Balve Optimum and the Voßwinkel Riding Days are fixed points in the German and European equestrian calendar and attract thousands of visitors year after year.

Large equestrian events, such as the Balve Optimum, also take place regularly.

The contact for district tournaments and district championships, where the members of their clubs determine their annual best, is the Equestrian Sports Association of Westfalen.
