Eleven-year-old Tea Rahm has been riding a cane for almost three years. She also rides on real horses but thinks it is at least as much fun with cane horses.
- It's fun that you can just take your cane horse and ride a little, she says.
At the riding school, the children practice both dressage and jumping. And the number of interested children is constantly increasing.
- It has become very big and it is great fun, says Emma Palm, trainer at Vissmålen's riding club.
Why has it become so big do you think?
- I think it's an alternative for many who can't afford their own horse. And it is community and you meet many new friends.
But the horsehair rides go beyond that. Many children have produced their own horses and have determined their names, breeds and characteristics.
Filippa Bolin is seven years old and she has several horses living at home in the wardrobe. Today she rides on a black horse with glittery halter which is a bit of a brawl.
- He usually throws himself in the stable and can be scary at competitions.
What do you say to him then?
- Now you have to sharpen yourself.
Tea has built a stable for her horses at home in her room.
- I feed them in the morning just like real horses, she says.
Is this fantasy world all around as important as jumping itself?
- Yes, I think so. It's fun to find out for yourself how you want it.
How do you do if you want to become good at horse riding?
- Practice a lot and you have to dare things you might not have thought you could, says Tea Rahm.
How long do you think you will be doing horse riding?
- Forever!
