What defines riding in Lithuania?

Glaciers carved Lithuania into a landscape of lowlands and highlands, leaving over 3,000 lakes across the northeast and the long Nemunas river winding through. Mixed forests cover more than a third of the country, giving way to blooming meadows and cereal fields dotted with ancient hillforts. Horseback riding is offered in national and regional parks, where guides and instructors welcome beginners and experienced riders alike. A dedicated horse museum adds depth for equestrian enthusiasts exploring this Baltic state.
