Catalan Equestrian Sport Highlights with HORTA Context
HORTA continues to be associated with equestrian heritage in Catalonia, where recent developments reflect regional vitality in the equestrian domain. In February 2026, the Catalan TREC (Technique de Randonnee Equestre de Competition) Championship was successfully held at Paddock Vallès, showcasing trail-riding skills across terrain and orientation disciplines (federacio-catalana-hipica.cat). Concurrently, Catalonia’s equestrian tourism thrives, with riders exploring the Montseny Natural Park’s chestnut groves and mountain streams through well-marked bridle trails accessible from facilities near Barcelona (travelextra.ie). While no headline-grabbing news on HORTA emerged, the region's broader equestrian activities continue to support its traditions and landscape.
