The world elite in jumping and dressage travelled to Nord Jutland competing at Equitour. Alongside the sports activities, normally different activity areas have been designed on the showground for the families attending. These areas among others included a children’s fairground, a food market and a great exhibition area. In addition, several other events took place during the five days of Equitour. Amongst many highlights; the shows included a big car event, a car auction as well as the Nordic International Sales foal auction, concerts and a family and kids day.
