Axevalla racecourse
Skara

The Racecourse of Champions

The racecourse is located at the centre of Skaraborg County, and can be reached from all its four corners in less than an hour. The complex is one of three partners in the Skara Horseland project, which arranges large events and activities in the racing hall and indoor court. The most famous event is the “Hästival” in autumn, and the Mare Championship, which attracts thousands of visitors in July every year. 

The Racing Hall and the Horse Hotel

The Axevalla Racing Hall is adjacent to the racecourse. The indoor arena is perfectly suited to different types of competitions, as well as other activities or exhibitions. It features both visitor’s stalls as well as longer-term stabling facilities at the Horse Hotel. There are excellent paths for riding and driving in the area, and the Skara Riders’ Association is located nearby.
