UPPSALA UNIVERSITY EQUESTRIAN DEPARTMENT

The staff of the Equestrian Academy at Uppsala university wish to welcome you to one of the oldest equestrian departments in the world. Since its foundation in 1663, the Academy Stable of Uppsala university has provided the staff and students of Scandinavia's oldest university with a high standard of riding instruction. In the past the Academy's major responsibility was to educate the officers of the Swedish Cavalry, but today, its major role lies in the education of its members for the purposes of sport and recreation.

The Academy Stable is located close to the centre of the historical city of Uppsala, and is not only adjacent to a number of the University's educational institutions, but is also favoured by a close proximity of a number of large parkland areas. The Stable offers its members both indoor and outdoor riding venues. The outdoor venues include a wide selection of activities, such as: jumping, dressage and cross country courses. The forest provides another option for those more interested to take one of its riding paths.
