Four-hour trail riding tour

When you want a bit more!

This tour gives you more time to see the nature, more tölt, more trot, more gallop and more in the first place. The tour heads to the beautiful spruce forests and edges of swamps. The summery forest shows it’s best sides, when you spend more time there.

The tour starts with arriving to the stable, deciding what horses everyone will ride and gearing them up. We’ll pack some snacks and coffee or tea with us in saddle bags.  After this, we’ll mount to our horses and start our ride. It takes us to beautifull arctic forest, where we’ll be able to enjoy the pure air and our icelandic horses. The coffee break will be held at a suitable time. We can also stop and stretch our legs if needed. The tour can end to wading in the lake Kuusamo.

The four-hour riding tours are not available during winter season.

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.
