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 riding stables - where children can not only learn about riding, but also about life in the stables. Many stables also offer guest boxes so that guests can bring their own horse. And of course, the Sauerland also offers top-class equestrian events. Events such as Balve Optimum and the Voßwinkel Riding Days are fixed points in the equestrian calendar throughout Germany and Europe 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, at which the members of their clubs determine their best riders of the year, is the Westfalen Equestrian Sports Association.
