Our riding school is for everyone, whether you want to take your riding seriously or simply love horses and good company. We offer lessons for every level, led by our wonderful riding instructors, and each lesson is adapted to the individual. We have a great community, we love horses and we are committed – that makes us a happy and active club.
Sign yourself and/or your child up for riding through Hippocrates.

Riding with extra support
We also offer riding for those who need extra support to take part in a leisure activity. We are all different and do not have the same conditions or needs. Contact us directly, or go through the City of Borås programme Tillgänglig fritid (accessible leisure, in Swedish).
Tips for parents
- Come along and support your child – it is fun to share an interest.
- As a parent you may sometimes help lead the pony. Wear sturdy shoes.
- Avoid talking to your child during the lesson – it breaks their focus and disturbs the lesson.
- Take it slowly. Learning to ride takes time and lots of repetition.
- Spend plenty of time at the stables – in the horse world we learn by doing.
- Respect the instructor’s instructions and lesson plan. You are always welcome to contact us outside lesson time.
Before your first lesson
Have a look at the Swedish Equestrian Federation’s leaflet “Välkommen till ridskolan” (Welcome to the riding school, in Swedish) – it has useful information about riding gear and other things that are good to know. Arrive in good time for your first lesson, ideally 30 minutes early, so you have time for everything!
