Marrum

Marrum is a small village in Ferwerderadiel in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 1464 in 2014.

In 2006 following a storm nearly 100 horses were stranded on a small mud island. Eventually they were rescued after four women equestrians organised by Norma Miedema through an internet forum rode out through the water and then rode back leading the horses to safety. A memorial was subsequently erected to mark the bravery and ingenuity of these women.
