Lower Saxony is equestrian country - great holidays for horses and riders!

With its interesting and varied countryside and a long tradition of equestrian sport, Lower Saxony is indeed a horsey place! Stud farms of world renown, lively stallion parades, exciting horse auctions and major competitions all serve as meeting places for equestrian enthusiasts from all over the globe. Lower Saxony's own breeds, the "Hannoveraner", "Oldenburger" and "Friesen", number among the top performers not only at international events - these trusty steeds are also ideal partners for a holiday on horseback.
