Swim with the Horses

The amazing experience of hot summer days!

Do you want to experience something, you definitely can’t try evewhere? The summer is for having fun and enjoying to the fullest and what is a better way than to combine Icelandic horses and playing with water. So, just come to test riding in a lake and take part of our lake riding with Icelandics!

This ride takes you straight to the shore of the lake Kuusamo and we’ll take a dip to the lovely cooling and refreshing water. We’ll gear up the horses with only the bridle and leave the saddles to the stable. Thus you should have at least basic riding skills, because without a saddle the meaning of balance becomes even more prominent. After the horses are ready, we’ll put on our helmets, get on the horse and head to the lake.

We’ll ride in the lake for about an hour. If the group wants, we’ll go deep enough for the horses to really swim. Otherwise we’ll stay closer to the shore, so that the horses will walk or hop to move forward. The water will be up to the horses’ back’s so you’ll definitely get wet! For that reason it’s a good idea to wear a swimsuit or light clothes, that can get wet. And take a change of clothes! Shoes will be left to the shore.
