In order to have an equestrian hike taking place in good conditions, it is necessary to have equestrian routes identified, mapped perhaps marked. Equestrian marking guarantees the security of riders and horses, and the good running of the path.
That's why, the FITE worked on a good practices guide on marking and signage of equestrian routes. Each NETO (National Equestrian Tourism Organism - member of tthe FITE) can get to grips with it, complete it and modify it, to fit territorial specificities, while respecting the national and local legislations in effect on this topic.
There is no official marking in Germany as trail markings are regulated differently by each Land. Existing signs differ if the route is private or public.
Germany provides a webpage Pferdetourismus that assembles all information and provides links to equestrian tourism in the country.
