What is Outdoor Riding?

Outdoor riding means horseback riding carried out in natural landscapes, forests, plains, and mountains, primarily for recreation, exercise, and personal wellbeing rather than formal competition. Riders use versatile mounts and practical tack suited to varied terrain. The discipline lacks the structured rivalry of formal equestrian sports. It encompasses leisure trail riding, endurance, TREC, equestrian field sports, and ski joering.
