What defines riding in Latvia?
Latvia unfolds as a mosaic of fertile lowland plains and moderate hills, where vast forests alternate with fields, farmsteads, and pastures. Forests cover about 56% of the country, dominated by Scots pine, birch, and Norway spruce. Hundreds of kilometres of undeveloped coastline stretch along the Baltic, lined by pine-forested dunes and continuous white-sand beaches. At the Jura staļļi, riders can take a horse-drawn carriage along forest paths near Grobiņa.
