Do you dream of pursuing a career with horses and competing in show jumping, dressage, driving, or eventing? Then this is the course for you.

Here, you can focus on your horse and develop as a rider or driver. The connection between you and your horse is key, helping you understand your impact and interpret its signals.

Teaching is tailored to your level and ambitions. With electives like show jumping, long-lining, driving, and project horse, you get more training with your horse.

You don’t need competition experience, but you must be confident in walk, trot, and canter. This course is also a great stepping stone to further equine studies, such as becoming a riding instructor or vet.

Are you ready for a year of growth, joy, and new friendships? Join us for unforgettable experiences with horses and like-minded people!

What can you expect?

💪 Regular training and close follow-up
🏆 Opportunities to compete locally
🥰 Sharing your passion with like-minded people

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.
