For those who want to try it all in equestrian sports and have fun with their horse! You can also borrow one of our horses!

Want a half year filled with horses—where you and your horse are the focus? A half year where you try every equestrian discipline, from dressage, show jumping, and eventing to bridleless riding and driving? Then you’ve come to the right place.

At Fjordane Folk High School, you’ll enjoy a varied and exciting year with your horse and like-minded people. You’ll also get a taste of everything Nordfjord has to offer—both with your horse and on shared trips with students from other courses.

What can you expect?

🐎 Diverse training to develop in both classic disciplines and alternative ones like working equitation, natural horsemanship, vaulting, mounted games, and western riding.

💪 Challenging yourself in different settings. Try eventing, polocrosse, agility, trail courses, as well as riding and overnight trips in stunning Norwegian nature.

🥰 Becoming part of a community where everyone shares your passion for horses.

💚 A strong focus on horse welfare—ensuring that your horse thrives.

🎓 Lessons tailored to your level, whether you’re new to riding or experienced and eager to learn more.

With nine main courses and over twenty electives, you can spend the year doing what matters to you.

You’ll challenge yourself and find your own path. Maybe you want to grow stronger, both physically and mentally? Perhaps you’d like to sew your own jacket, spend your days with horses, explore Viking history or learn how to save lives?

Whatever course you choose, you’ll meet teachers who love what they do and care about their students. They’re skilled, genuine and ready to guide you so you can get the most out of your year with us.

Our folk high school lies between the wild coastline of Stad and the mighty Jostedalsbreen glacier. Nordfjordeid is just the right size. Big enough to offer what you need, yet small enough to feel personal and close.

If you want to uncover hidden gems in Norway and beyond, this is the place. You’ll experience the best of Western Norway, from surfing and swimming in Hoddevika to hiking and kayaking in breathtaking nature.

In the middle of winter, we head to the Philippines for sunshine, warmth and white beaches. You might snorkel with turtles, sleep in a beach bungalow or go island-hopping. You’ll also meet locals and experience a different way of life that stays with you long after the trip.
