For those who want to try it all in equestrian sports and have fun with their horse! You can also borrow one of our horses!

Want a year filled with horses—where you and your horse are the focus? A year where you try every equestrian discipline, from dressage, show jumping, and eventing to bridleless riding and driving? Then you’ve come to the right place.

At Fjordane Folk High School, you’ll enjoy a varied and exciting year with your horse and like-minded people. You’ll also get a taste of everything Nordfjord has to offer—both with your horse and on shared trips with students from other courses.

What can you expect?

🐎 Diverse training to develop in both classic disciplines and alternative ones like working equitation, natural horsemanship, vaulting, mounted games, and western riding.

💪 Challenging yourself in different settings. Try eventing, polocrosse, agility, trail courses, as well as riding and overnight trips in stunning Norwegian nature.

🥰 Becoming part of a community where everyone shares your passion for horses.

💚 A strong focus on horse welfare—ensuring that your horse thrives.

🎓 Lessons tailored to your level, whether you’re new to riding or experienced and eager to learn more.

Between the rough North Sea and the majestic Jostedalsbreen glacier lies our folk high school – nestled in what we fondly call our "Heartplace". Nordfjordeid is just the right size. Big enough to offer everything you need, small enough to feel like it is all yours.

With 11 exciting courses, you will have the chance to discover new sides of yourself, try things you never have done before – or delve deeper into what you already love. Our dedicated teachers are passionate about their fields and want you to feel the same excitement.

Maybe your dream is to stand on a stage – as a circus artist, singer, or actor? Maybe you want to immerse yourself in the Viking history? Maybe you want a horse of your own or to work with horses? Maybe you love creating art with your hands or want to give new life to your grandmother’s old dress?

Or maybe you simply want to experience the raw nature of Western Norway and learn to stand on your own two feet? At Fjordane Folk High School, you can do all this while making a difference. 💚

Throughout the year, we participate in projects that give back to others, fostering a warmer, more inclusive community. One highlight is our study trip to the Philippines, which is part of our "Project Philippines" initiative.

Join us in creating your best year, filled with growth, joy, and friendship.
