This is a Show for everyone: from the youngest novice to the most seasoned professional.

There will also be other activities for those who wish to take a breather from horses. Like exhibitor stands, golfing, children’s jumping castle and much more.

Steinseth Ridesenter serves a full dinner menu and the adjoining “Peisestua” is a relaxing place to chat with friends. Both indoor arenas have spectator areas and in addition to the outdoor arena, there is a lovely grassy area where you can relax and enjoy the show. There is a snack stand in the larger indoor arena.

Friday!

In the evening, you can relax in the Peisestua with dinner and drinks and you'll be entertained by one of our local artists. A mechanical Bull will be set up and a bullride competition will be held. This is truly one of the highlights of the evening show - you don´t want to miss a real bullriding Rodeo Competition. Sign up at the Show Office – the entry fee kr. 20,- and maybe you will be the winner of a Trophy Belt Buckle!

Do not miss Saturday’s event!!!

There will be more exciting competition and on Saturday evening a Charity Concert will be held. Some of Norway’s up-and-coming artists have offered to perform for free to benefit the ”Marita Stiftelsen” (which works actively to prevent chemical addiction and help with rehabilitation). The artists will give you a real musical treat, and you will be among the first to discover some of these new entertainers!!!

Two showpases per horse give the participants access to the showgrounds and you will get a special price for the tickets to the Charity Concert. You can buy tickets for yourself and your family at the show office. Other guests at the show may buy their tickets at Peisestua or the Kiosk.

Do not forget about Sunday,

There will be more exciting classes, fun activities for young and old, and the awards presentation, both the high point and the Nordic Championship.

The barn has an indoor wash rack, and there is an outdoor wash rack as well with hot and cold water. There are 20 permanent stalls in the barn, reserved for those that will stay for the entire show from Thursday to Sunday afternoon. For all others there will be portable stalls available outside.
