Equestrian Debut on the Island
Inspiration durch etablierte Reitsportevents
The model for this initiative is the development on Norderney, where equestrian events have been successfully held for over 40 years as part of the Beachside Classics. The Borkum Dune Cup pursues a similar vision: a high-quality equestrian tournament with growing appeal and a firm place in the event calendar.
