Why is it important?
Previous research has pointed out that the Swedish riding school is characterised by a traditional stable culture that originated in army practices. Presently Swedish children and youth sport at large are undergoing a change driven by increased commercialisation and individualisation. It is therefore interesting to explore and analyse how Swedish riding instructors perceive and experience their professional role in regards to these changes.
