What defines riding in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

The Dinaric Alps dominate central and eastern Bosnia, where arid open fields sprinkled with yellow wildflowers give way to dense pine, beech, and oak forests. Wild horses roam the Cincar Mountains near Livno, grazing and cantering beside their colts in a living equestrian tradition. Friendly Bosnian villages and mountain cabins welcome riders for overnight stays surrounded by nature. Southern Herzegovina enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot summers, while the north sees snowy continental winters.
