Individualized instruction and hands‑on preparation
Lessons are private and adapted to your goals; you prepare and finish the horse yourself as part of the session unless you request help that is then included in the booked time.
Short, focused sessions — book 30, 45 or 60 minutes
Privatlektioner can be booked in 30, 45 or 60‑minute blocks; beginners are advised to book 60 minutes to allow time for both preparation and riding or driving.
