A Warm Welcome to Hansagården Icelandic Horses – Lidköping’s Coziest Riding School!
Come and experience peace and nature in our rural setting with our cuddly Icelandic horses.
We offer lessons in small groups with our calm and reliable horses! Our riders range in age from 3 to 70 years, with various levels of riding experience. Take a look around our website to see what suits you! (Page updated: 2025-06-09)
All lessons are held in small groups and always outdoors—either in the riding arena or out in nature!
During the fall and spring, we offer riding school in fixed weekday groups. On weekends and during summer, we’re open to everyone!
If you choose a lesson in the riding arena, no prior experience is required. However, trail rides are for those with some riding experience. Read more about our riding sessions below!
