One of our clients is looking at doing something like this in an old sand quarry, the interest from the horsey community is huge and the daily riding fees or subscriptions make it look like an attractive business opportunity!As Clive has said. Cash in on it! Don't be a looser and miss out. I had a 15 mile permissive route for horses in a past life. SR4H (Safer Routes for horses) was the logo in lovely stainless steel, nailed to each gate. Most of it is still going, except those pieces of ground which were sold due to the over-spending of the land-owner. Be a super hero and provide safe parking and somewhere you can load and unload a couple of horses and you'll start to get interest and things will snowball. Or be homophobic or whatever the fear of horseriders is? Equi-phobic?? and sit and shiver and make nothing for your efforts.
