Horse Region Münsterland

Horses belong to Münsterland just like its castles and palaces. For generations, there has been a particularly close relationship between horse and man. This has led to the development of a region for horses and riders that is probably unique in Germany.

With more than 100,000 horses, the Münsterland is one of the most horse-rich regions in Europe. Of the 1.5 million inhabitants in the Münsterland horse region, around 80,000 practise riding and driving, vaulting or learn about a new world in therapy with horses. Over 1,000 horse farms are spread across the Münsterland. A density that is hard to find elsewhere and does not make the choice easy for many a horse owner. Idyllic half-timbered farms, rustic open stables, ultra-modern equestrian facilities - everyone can find something suitable for their passion for horses in Münsterland.

1000 possibilities for four hooves

There's nothing that doesn't exist in the Münsterland horse region! Whether you're new to riding or a professional - the riding schools and horse farms in the region can help you in every way. Whether you're planning a relaxing holiday on a horse farm, want to indulge in the wellness wave and put your horse in a veterinary-approved, supervised fitness centre or use your stay for intensive training - the equestrian scene in Münsterland has something to offer for everyone.

It's not just horse fans who are inspired by the first-class events. Some, such as the stallion parades, the Symphony of Stallions or the tournaments at Riesenbeck International, are known throughout Europe. Just like the wild horses in the Merfelder Bruch - the last of their kind in Europe.

If you don't just want to look, but want to explore the Münsterland on horseback yourself, you can go on wonderful rides with your horse on the more than 1000 kilometre long Münsterland - Reitroute.
