Horse Riding

 

If you decide to choose horse riding as a chosen subject, you will obtain the competanse and solid experience of a seasoned rider, regardless of your background.

Our goal is to achieve a harmonious learning session that will suit your level of experience and encourage your development as a rider.

You will have nine hours a week to practise your riding and a further three hours set aside for theory work. Pasvik folkhoyskole has it's own stable's and provides their own horses. You will be actively required to work the stable one day of the week which will be rotated amongst you. During the schoolyear we will have an evening of entertainment for the rest of the school. What we choose to do, is entirely your choise!
