What defines riding in Montenegro?

Montenegro stretches from a sunlit Adriatic coastline through fertile plains to some of the Balkans' most rugged mountain terrain. Its highlands sit within the Alpine Biogeographic Region, while the coast belongs to the Mediterranean zone, three distinct terrestrial ecoregions cover the land between them. Northern mountain winters are long and snowy, with snow lingering well into spring, while the southern coast sees mild January temperatures around 8 °C. Peak riding comfort falls in the drier, warmer months before the heaviest mountain rainfall arrives.
