Your Own Day at Ronivaara Finnhorse Farm

At Ronivaara, the day feels like a small return to a calmer time: animals are close, the farmyard has its own quiet rhythm and your own group has time to be together without hurry. This private experience brings your family or small group to spend time with Finnhorses, animals and shared hands-on moments at Ronivaara Farm in Kuusamo. The day includes seasonal activity with the horses, an easy creative part, a keepsake to take home and shared refreshments.

The day is built around presence, gentle participation and peaceful time with your own group at Ronivaara. Your private guide takes care of your group throughout the experience and keeps the day safe, unhurried and suitable for you. They help with meeting the animals and adapt participation to each guest’s comfort level, making the day genuinely personal.

Finnhorses are at the heart of Ronivaara. The Finnhorse is Finland’s native horse breed: strong, wise, versatile and trusting by nature. Its gentle strength, curious mind and calm presence make it easy to connect with, also for first-time guests.

The day includes seasonal activity with the Finnhorses. Depending on the season, group and conditions, this may be a calm riding tryout in the arena or a winter sleigh ride. The final form is chosen so that the experience feels natural, safe and suitable for both guests and horses.

In Ronivaara’s farmyard, you will also meet other animals, such as sheep and chickens, as a natural part of the day. Everyone can take part in their own way and according to their own comfort level — the focus is on shared time, presence and a peaceful moment close to animals.

The creative part gives the day a personal touch. Each guest can make a small craft by themselves, or the group can create a shared keepsake together. No previous skills are needed, and the finished piece goes home with you as a concrete memory of your day at Ronivaara.

At the end of the day, you pause together over shared refreshments.
