A tour by horse-drawn carriage with Jessica and Titan
Do you like horses and getting out into nature? Come and take a ride with me and my north Swedish horse Titan. I will meet you at the train station in Stenkullen and take you to the stable, where we will get the horse ready and take a little ride in a horse drawn carriage on some back roads, maybe to a nice little lake. The experience takes about 3 hours.
About Your Host, Jessica
I am a cheerful person, enjoying my best years and have found my paradise on earth in the countryside at Stenkullen. I live with my husband, two children and a flock of chickens. My horse, which I ride and drive, lives at a stable a couple of kilometres from home. I thrive best in nature, have a small kitchen garden where I grow vegetables, and like to cook and eat good food.
Who this is for
This experience is perfect if you like horses, nature experiences, and to talk about everything that makes life worth living. Since I only have a small horse drawn carriage I can only take maximum one adult + one child on each ride.
When?
During the summer; weekdays and weekends. During the winter; weekends only.
Where?
By car, it takes about 30 minutes from Gothenburg. Or, if you take a train to Stenkullen station, I can pick you up there.
Price
200 kr for two persons
Languages Spoken
I speak Swedish and English. I also understand Norwegian, Danish, and Finnish as well as a little German.

Reviews
It was a fun and informative meeting with Jessica and her horses, especially Titan. He was a big and strong horse who offered to ride us around the area. The discussion during the ride included diverse topics and meaningful. I had a very good time. I got insights into the meaning of horse ownership here in Sweden and the chores associated with that. I suggest this for everyone with or without interest in horses to learn something more about this beautiful animal and the awesome host family. Regards, Kamesh Kameshwaran
