There have always been horses kept at Bockgården. We would like to give you a good horse experience together with our neighbour’s working horses. Horses love to work and it is fun to participate! There are a lot of exciting things you can do with a kind and well trained working horse.
With a horse and a carriage, we would like to take you back in time, to the times when people in this part of Sweden moved into the forest in the summertime to find pasture for their cows and other farm animals. This kind of summer camp was called “fäbod”. We will travel the old fashion way through the beautiful forest to Karl Tövåsens fäbod. Finally there, will we meet the farm animals and eat a delicious cheese buffet that was made and prepared at the ‘fäbod’.
During the horse tour, you have a possibility to learn more about horses and our landscape together with our charming and good neighbours, who have also passion for the traditional “nordsvensk” horses.
Coming back after the eventful tour with the horse, you are going to enjoy the good food from Bockgården.
* The food is vegetarian whereas most of the products are ecological and locally produced.
