  1. Hi Lena

    How many students are in the school? How many teachers?

    Why do you use Icelandic horses?

    1. About 70 students and 12 teachers. Icelandic horses are popular and when the school was build up 8 years ago they took that decision. The ridning hall, oval track, stable and everything are optimized for icelandic horses. The teachers are well-known. One of them is a international breeding judge for icelandic horses and one of them is competing in the world championship. Because of the gates pace and toelt the riding lessons are special although the main goal with good communication, soft ridning and good horsemanship etc are the same for all ridning.

  2. Hi Lena!
    Can the student get their own horses and have them in the education? Or do they have to have your schoolhorses? What different educations do you have at your school?

    Take care, Kristina
