Traveling through the Norwegian wilderness with horses.
The first week will be the Horse skills class with the intensive students.
This year’s Horse Immersion will focus on developing a relationship with the horses of Pippi Garden, moving through the landscape with lightweight gear and journeying north from the Living Wild home base at Pippi Gården to the wilderness base in Tufsingdal (Femundsmarka). The journey of 200 km will be both riding and on foot and is only open to experienced horse riders.
Idunn -4 year old mare, Baldur -7 year old Norwegian fjord gelding, Karma -15 year old Appaloosa mare
The first week will be the horse skills intensive (also open to beginners). Once both humans and horses are comfortable and have developed trust in each other we will set out along the historic Østerdalsleden Pilgrims Trail that starts close to the Living Wild school. We will travel approximately 15-20 km per day.
We will be travelling light and therefore using modern gear. We will have a re-supply stop along the way. Participants must be in good physical condition, have experience riding long days and working with horses and be at least 25 years old.
There is also an opportunity to ride back in August for 2 experienced riders that are personally known to Lynx, message for details.
