Swimming with Friesian horses is a special and unforgettable experience, and a perfect way to completely unwind. You'll ride along on the horses in a relaxed, natural style of riding, where the connection with the animal and surroundings takes centre stage. Friesian horses love water and are happy to go deep into the sea. This activity is wonderful on a summer's day or evening: feel the fresh sea air and water on your skin whilst sitting on a Friesian horse in the North Sea.
The activity lasts a maximum of two hours and consists of 1 hour of horse riding to and from the North Sea beach and 30/45 minutes swimming with the horses in the North Sea. Finishing off with the wood-fired hot tub on our Puur farm.
At Puur Terschelling we find safety and enjoyment important. That's why the right equipment is essential.
