From equipping riders, to horse boxes, through animal care methods, in the 10,000 m2 of exhibition space, everything will be there to meet the slightest request from visitors. And if they are more and more numerous, this is certainly due to the fact that the equine sector is the leading private employer in the sports world with 180,000 jobs. The enthusiasm of individuals for horse riding is also on the rise. It is also the only sport to have seen its number of licensees increase after the first wave of the covid in 2020.
So that Passion Horse rhymes more with innovation, a challenge is proposed during the event. Companies, associations and organizations that have something new to offer in terms of equipment, service, tourism, training or sustainable development, are invited to apply to perhaps win the innovation challenge.
