BFK has about 145 licensed competition riders. Swedish equestrian sport is built on volunteer work – without it, far fewer children and young people would get the chance to ride and spend time with horses. Every year the club supports its competition riders through the competitions with an average of about SEK 50,000.
A competition licence requires paid membership. Register on Hippocrates.
