There are plenty of exciting and fun activities for horse enthusiasts. Here, we've gathered 24 experiences that should be on every horse lover's bucket list. From riding bareback to owning your own horse. What horse-related things have you always wanted to do? And how many have you already experienced?
Naturally, no two riders or teams are alike. We are all at different stages and want vastly different things from our riding. Some riders want to participate in many exciting competitions, while others prefer to go on many cozy rides. Therefore, it makes the most sense to write a list of goals or wishes you have for your own riding. However, we have still come up with 24 things that could be on your bucket list.
