The horse pasture near Born in the municipality of Brüggen (North Rhine-Westphalia) is part of the open stream valley landscape around the Schwalm and Borner See. This area is characterized by wide grasslands, hedgerows, ditches, and scattered stands of trees that together form a typical Lower Rhine cultural landscape. The horse pastures are usually located on the edge of the village or in the transition between built-up areas and nature reserves, where the soil is flat and fertile enough for grass growth and where sufficient water is available. Historically, these grasslands were part of mixed agricultural practices. Farmers kept cattle and horses on the wet and semi-wet meadows along the stream. Due to the proximity of the Schwalm and smaller watercourses, the grass remained relatively green in dry summers. The presence of horses in the landscape is therefore in keeping with a long tradition of agriculture and livestock farming in this region. With the modernization of agriculture, many small plots disappeared, but meadows that have retained their open character are still visible around Born. The horse pasture has not only an economic but also a landscape value. Grazing horses keep the grass short and prevent shrubs from spreading too quickly. This preserves the characteristic open view across the meadows. At the same time, grazing creates slight variations in height and vegetation, which can be beneficial for insects and meadow birds. In spring and summer, flowering grass margins and herb-rich strips create a colorful transition between fields, water, and forest. From a recreational perspective, the horse pastures contribute to the experience of peace and tranquility around Born. Walking and cycling paths often run alongside these open fields, offering visitors views of the rural scene of grazing animals against the backdrop of rows of trees and church towers. Combined with nearby nature reserves such as the Schwalm valley and Borner See, a diverse landscape emerges where nature and agriculture blend seamlessly.
