Enhancing the status of equine breeding is crucial
In the cities of Fritzlar and Korbach, North Hesse, an unusual event is taking place – an action week aimed at highlighting the value of horses in society. The initiative, called "Vielfalt Pferd," is being led by Constanze Faste-Möller, and it's designed to reach out to people who have never had contact with horses before.
The action week is packed with activities, starting with litter collection drives in both cities, where participants will use horse-drawn carriages in Fritzlar. The goal is to demonstrate that horses are not just for leisure activities, but can contribute positively to the community as well.
Kindergartens and retirement homes are among the locations visited during the action week. The children's delight as they interact with the horses, and the smiles on the faces of the elderly, are testament to the universal appeal of these magnificent creatures.
In a unique twist, riders will make contact with "non-riders" at the McDonald's drive-in in Korbach. This is an opportunity for people to get up close and personal with horses, perhaps for the first time, and to learn about their role in society.
Constanze Faste-Möller reports on these activities as part of the action week. She emphasizes that the focus is on all horses, regardless of breed, size, or whether they are used for sports or leisure. The aim is to improve the image of horses and their keeping in society, making them more accessible and highlighting their value regardless of their specific use.
The action week is part of a larger movement across Germany, aimed at making horses more visible and appreciated in society. It's a chance for people to reconnect with these ancient animals, and to understand the important role they play in our lives.
