Several riding schools in the region are now empty-handed. Riding schools in Almelo, Denekamp, Hardenberg, Enschede, Kampen, Oldenzaal, Hengelo and Zwolle, among others, have yet to receive money. “In total it amounts to a hundred thousand,” says Theo. “For some the blow hits harder than others. For example, one riding school is more of a half-care institution with multiple funding flows and the other riding school is only dependent on membership contributions.”
