Mirva’s motto: “Animals don’t have a voice, so you will never stop hearing mine.”

One of Mirva’s biggest dreams came true at 2014 when she bought Wanhan Raatesalmi farm with her husband. They moved to Kuusamo from the Southern Finland where Mirva used to work in international supply chain management. She has been entrepreneur since 2010.

Animals have always been big part of Mirva’s life.  She has had animals from parrots to gerbils and from fish to horses. Mirva fell in love with icelandic horses when she started riding, her childhood hobby, again. 

Before moving to Kuusamo Mirva guided riding tours with icelandic horses and held riding classes in Southern Finland.

Mirva has degree of equine economics and she’s studying to become FEIF I-instructor. She has had lots of courses and lectures about icelandic horses and horses in general. Wellbeing of her animals is Mirva’s number one priority.

Vesa takes care of all the technical things at the farm. At the moment most of his time goes to restoration of the main building. Vesa is also part time photographer and videographer so he has taken most of the pictures of our web site and social media. During winter time Vesa is responsible of our riding trail maintenance.

Vesa has been entrepreneur since 2004 in electronics design industry.
