About Backfors Gård
Backfors Gård is a horseback riding farm located in Bjurholm, Västerbottens län. The farm offers a range of guided rides, private lessons, and multi-day riding experiences that highlight northern Sweden’s forests, pastures and rivers.
Backfors Gård emphasizes hands-on horsemanship: guests typically groom and prepare their horses before setting out, ride outdoors on established routes, and pause for fika or snacks during breaks. The stable works with sturdy draft horses suited for steep forest trails and river crossings; rides are adapted to rider ability with options suitable for beginners through experienced riders. Guided experiences include the two-hour Långa nybörjarturen, the four-hour Äventyrsritten for more experienced riders, the three-hour Älvritten along the Öreälven where wading may occur, the seasonal Höstritt in autumn, a two-day Ridupplevelse to Dalabacken with an overnight stay, and tailored Privatlektioner in riding, driving and groundwork.
Safety and comfort are priorities: rides include planned rest stops, outdoor fire breaks for snacks, and pace adjustments based on group skill. Overnight and longer rides offer scenic lake views and relaxed mornings before the return journey. Backfors Gård operates within the natural landscape of Västerbottens län and provides authentic riding experiences for visitors seeking to connect with horses and northern Swedish nature.
