At the equestrian club in Karlstad, you are not above arranging different types of competitions - but this is the premiere for racing horses.

- It has become so popular with cane horses, so we thought it was fun to fix a competition, says Ida Åberg, who is the organizer and chair of the riding club's youth section.

Single and team competition

At the competition there will be the opportunity to jump classes from 20 centimeters up to 80 centimeters. There will also be a team class of 60 centimeters where you can set up with four to eight participants in a team.

"Easier to handle"

Ida Åberg believes that it has become popular with cane horses for several reasons.

- It might be difficult to have time to take care of a real horse, so maybe it is better to play that the cane horse is a real horse.

Inside mix a little younger

She says that it is mainly young people between the ages of five and fifteen who have registered for the competition and if they are successful, she does not exclude that more canine horse competitions will be arranged in the future. She herself has not tested cane horse yet.

"But I might take a little round on Saturday," she laughs.
