Our different tours and levels

All our different tour levels are listed below; from the lowest level of experience to the highest. Click on each level to read more about it. If you are not sure which level suits you best, we always recommend choosing the lower of the two levels, and rather ask the tour guide if you/your child is ready for the higher level another time.

On this tour we only ride in walk in our nearby area, and it's optional to try some tölt/trot (jogging pace) inside our riding arena towards the end of the tour. We start the tour inside our riding arena, where the tour guide will provide necessary instructions and information before we ride outside.

On this tour we ride in tölt/trot and canter several times, but we have slower transitions between the gaits than we do on the tours for experienced riders only.

This tour is also suited for experienced riders. They can ask for a fast horse to adjust the speed to their level of experience.

• Have ridden several times in canter

• Have been riding regularly for a longer period of time, preferably with instruction

• Are able to adjust their stirrups by themselves

• Know how to use the reins correctly in all gaits

The less experience the rider has, the more instruction they should have received. If you are not sure the rider qualifies for this level, we recommend booking a Level 3 Beginner tour with canter for youths and adults the first time.

Tour length: 1,5 hours (available the whole year), 2 hours (spring, summer and fall), 3 hours (only in Summer) and Day tours (5 hours, only in the summer holiday).

Open to level: "Medium experience" and "Experienced riders".

This tour is for experienced riders only. On this level we ride longer distances in tölt, and transitions between tölt and gallop without transitioning to walk first.

To participate at this level, the rider must fulfill these requirements:

• Have ridden a lot/regularly over several years with instruction

• Can handle canter/gallop well

• Can handle transitions between gallop/tölt

• Unafraid

• Can saddle their horse
