Do you dream of pursuing a career with horses and competing in show jumping, dressage, driving, or eventing? Then this is the course for you.

Here, you can focus on your horse and develop as a rider or driver. The connection between you and your horse is key, helping you understand your impact and interpret its signals.

Teaching is tailored to your level and ambitions. With electives like show jumping, long-lining, driving, and project horse, you get more training with your horse.

You don’t need competition experience, but you must be confident in walk, trot, and canter. This course is also a great stepping stone to further equine studies, such as becoming a riding instructor or vet.

Are you ready for a year of growth, joy, and new friendships? Join us for unforgettable experiences with horses and like-minded people!

What can you expect?

💪 Regular training and close follow-up
🏆 Opportunities to compete locally
🥰 Sharing your passion with like-minded people
💚 A strong focus on horse welfare
🎓 18+ hours of equine studies per week, including riding, driving, stable work, and theory

Facilities:
We have access to a large equestrian centre with:

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.
