The Swedish National Equestrian Centre is located in beautiful surroundings next to the Castle of Strömsholm in the county of Västmanland. It has been the national education centre of equestrian sport for several centuries.

The Royal Breeding Stud of Strömsholm was established in the 17th century and enjoyed its heyday in the middle of the 18th century. At that time over 350 horses were accommodated at Strömsholm. In 1868, a central military riding school was established by the king, Karl XV. This riding school was to characterise the management and the attitude towards horsemanship and riding technique in Sweden for the next century.

A hundred years later, in 1968, the military education centre was liquidated and the responsibility of management was transferred to the Swedish Equestrian Federation.

Today you find that the fine old stables have been carefully renovated and complemented with new ones built according to the latest research within care and management of the horse. Seven indoor, and several outdoor arenas are to be found in the grounds, which encourages excellent training and competition possibilities.
