On average, you have 18 hours of core subjects per week, with riding sessions for an instructor, rider training, driving, horse handling, stable work and theory.

You will have the chance to participate in shows in the local area, and the school arranges show training days as similar to a show as possible, to give you and your horse more show experience.

Mental training for the rider is part of the teaching, so that the head and body are connected in different settings.

If your horse becomes sick, injured or lame, it is possible to borrow a school horse so that you do not miss lessons.

You can also choose to combine the use of a school horse and your own horse in the lessons. This way you will have the opportunity to try your hand at other horses.

If you have your own horse, there will be an additional cost for stabling of NOK 4,000 per month.

Important: To book a stable space, you must make an appointment directly with the Norwegian Fjord Horse Center either by phone: 57 86 48 00 or by email .

You can use your horse for three riding lessons a week, in addition to participating in many different electives and advanced courses with horses. All students can get extra help with their horse if problems arise, for example in riding, driving or handling.

In addition to the lessons at the horse school, it is possible to participate in riding and driving courses organized by local organizers. In collaboration with the riding club, Fjordane Folk High School also vote at least twice every six months.

We have an agreement with the Fjord Horse Center where all horse students will have stable service there as part of the school's training program until the autumn holidays . This is to give the students experience, knowledge and competence in all areas of horse use and management. If you are stabled at Stall Os, you must also follow the school's program at the center.

If you have any further questions, you can send an email to the inspector at Fjordane, Annifrid .

Between the school and the Norwegian Fjord Horse Center is Stall Os, which also offers stables. A stable here costs NOK 4,000 per month. Contact them directly to find out what is included.

If you use the riding hall at the Norwegian Fjord Horse Center outside of organized lessons and are stabled at Stall Os, you must have a hall card of NOK 600 per month. For information and bookings, call Stall Os (Lene) on 401 71 167 or by e-mail .
