- Loosen up your thighs and knees, Hanne Dahl Lien shouts to the students in the indoor school at Starum. The occasion is the visit from the members of EEN (European Equestrian Network). About 25 instructors and students from equestrian education institutions in Finland, Sweden, France, Portugal, Germany and Great Britain arrive at Starum next week.
As a part of the program, some of the NHS-students will give riding lessons to the foreign students, so that's why Hanne & co have been practicing in English this week. Do you wonder how it sounds?

There are a lot of important topics to discuss when riding instructors from many European countries have the chance to meet. Before the meeting, there is also a lot of practical questions that have be answered. For example- our Portugese friends, who have no experience of snow and ice, wondered if they should bring with them an arctic diving suit, to get keep out the cold.
There will also be a social program during the three days, and on the agenda is a sleigh ride with our four black dølahorses. With all the snow that we have had the last few days, we hope to show our foreign guests a part of Norwegian equine culture.
