Nordhallands Ridklubb i Kungsbacka, Vallda

What a great riding club! Have ridden here for 2 years now (after a break of about 10 years). Family-like, a mindset where horse care is most important and a fantastic cozy atmosphere inside the stable. Some newly purchased horses that have now landed nicely and the riding instructors are careful to ensure that they are the "right horses for the job". Above all, as I said, a family-like and warm riding club under great management!

After over a year at NHRK in the adult group, I can say that I am not impressed. High turnover of riding instructors (7 different teachers/substitutes in one year), poor/no handover between riding instructors so they don't know what you can do, riding instructors who don't follow the programs from Swedish Equestrian. When we finally got a fantastic riding instructor, he quit because the riding school didn't agree with him on something (not explicitly what it was, but I trust the riding instructor more than the riding school). Will be going to a different riding school in the fall. Several in my group are talking about changing too. I suspect bad management/staff rather than bad riding instructors. The horses seem to be doing quite well in the stables, some horses have bad saddles, but I understand that they are expensive. When you volunteer at events, there are unclear instructions and sometimes boring treatment, which makes you rather pay the "penalty" than help.

Riding halls are always so cold. Today was a dog show. At least it was warm. 🔥
