Horses along the beach Horses through the dunes
 

On the beaches, through the forests, along country lanes, the horserider is a common sight. Most villages or town will have a riding school or two. So why not try something different, and explore the countryside or the dunes on horseback. Experienced equestrians can rent the horses per hour, half day or full day. The less confident riders can opt to join a tour. Qualified guides will take you along the most scenic routes and point out the various points of interest. Most of them are quite knowledgeable on the wildlife and vegetation, and will gladly explain the ins and outs.
