I'm not decided, but want to bring the following point to consideration: Amenities are usually something for (a significant part of) society in general. Yes, schools are only for those who have children, hospitals only for those who are ill (potentially everyone though), and post offices only for who still sends paper mail or parcels. Still, these are significant parts (in number) of the population. Opposed to this, horse riding is a small fraction of society, and in rapid decline as well. These are numbers for the UK (numbers might be tainted, as they are from the horse riding industry): "The overall number of those who ride has fallen, from 3.5 million in 2011 to 2.7 million in 2015. There has been a decline in regular riders, from 1.6 million in 2011 to 1.3 million in 2015." [1] This equals to just 2-4% of the British population, for the overwhelming majority, these blocks are useless.
