2.3.3. Horse Riding

Horse riding as a recreation tool is popular nowadays. Children, youngsters and seniors all like to spice their holiday with this beautiful animal.

It is said that the best view at the landscape is from the horse back and it seems that a lot of people want to make sure of it on their own. Horse riding tourism is becoming increasingly popular among European citizens.

Given this statement, the development of a horse riding track is possible alongside the Grebbelinie, giving an imagination of the cavalry officers, inspecting the line.

Existing or to be raised horse-riding companies will be interested in such a track. It is an extension of their horse paths for their own riders. Beside that, they can rent horses nearby the line and make also a guided tour of around one hour with the tourist.

However, walking, cycling and horse tracks must be separated in order to avoid accidents.

Events with horses are also an option. There are annual events nearby the Grebbelinie with carriages& horses, horses working in the agricultures/transport, etc. However, there are no events with military horses in the surrounding of the Grebbelinie. Maybe there are horses once a year at the old pyramid nearby the Grebbelinie, raised by the French troops in 1804. So military horse demonstrations can be an interesting event to organise.
