Born in the fifties in Europe and more specifically in France while the machine was taking precedence over animal power, equestrian tourism has long since passed over the stage of friendly potentialities to become a pretty concrete reality and to be one of the safest way to develop equitation.
Over a forty-year period, in a society where leisure has become more and more important, the perception of equestrian tourism changed. This activity used to be marginal and hardly considered but is nowadays, undoubtedly, the most suitable way to raise interest, to gather the greatest number of riders and to attract a wide public, thanks to the values it carries.
This practice is open to everyone. Champion or beginner, any rider can immediately access it ; this guarantees to equestrian tourism the largest amount of potential riders. From the easiest to the hardest, those who are wishing to go over their limits through horse riding can become capable of travelling for hours on horseback, to accomplish long-distance hiking and being part of very long journeys.
