Welcome to Sweden by Horse - Kinnekullebygdens ridupplevelser! Swedish history, Swedish nature, Swedish food and Swedish horses along with the amenities of accommodation or just a riding experience for the day. For your wellbeing!
Riding a horse in the Kinnekulle area is a true experience. You just relax, put your trust in the horse and enjoy the view - either it is a flowery meadow or the stunning scenery of Lake Vänern.
Kinnekullebygdens Ridupplevser will give you the choice of two riding experiences Both of these rides are conducted in small groups with a maximum of eight riders, in order to ensure good contact with our knowledgeable and experienced guide. You may enjoy the rides separately as one day tours or as a package with full board and accommodation. All the horses are of a north Swedish breed which is one of the two original Swedish horse breeds and they are all highly suitable for cross-country riding. They are 150-158 centimetres high and they all have their own different personalities, which we try to match to your needs.

The Middle Ages riding tours go to either the church of Forshem or to the one of Husaby. Both of these places are featured in the books about the Knights Templar Arn Magnusson in the books by Jan Guillou. These rides are conducted with an experienced guide very familiar with the Middle Ages who will take good care of you. You will be riding in clothes inspired by the Middle Ages and the food served in either Forshem or Husaby, will be similar to the one served during that time.
