A day of discovery

Horse Day is organized by the FFE (French Equestrian Federation) to allow everyone to discover horse riding, one of the favorite sports of the French.

With over 700,000 members, equestrian sports rank 3rd among the most practiced sports activities in France.

This sport, which offers a privileged contact with nature and animals, is generating increasing enthusiasm. For the past 5 years, the French Equestrian Federation has been recording an average of 30,000 additional riders each year.

Thanks to the free initiations it offers, Horse Day contributes each year to increasing the number of members of the FFE.
