What defines riding in Belgium?

Coastal plains along the North Sea give way to rolling hills and the forested Ardennes in the south. Horse riding tours weave through Flemish meadows, Walloon farmland, and the Ardennes, home of the Ardennais draft breed. A mild maritime climate with moderate winters and warm summers keeps trails rideable almost year-round.
