Your Own Experience at Ronivaara Finnhorse Farm

At Ronivaara, the experience 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 experience includes seasonal activity with the horses, an easy creative part, a keepsake to take home and shared refreshments.

The experience is built around presence, gentle participation and peaceful time with your own group at Ronivaara. Your private guide stays with your group throughout the experience, keeping the pace safe and unhurried. They help with meeting the animals and adapt participation within the programme to each guest’s comfort level, the situation and the animals.

Finnhorses are at the heart of Ronivaara. The Finnhorse is Finland’s native horse breed, known for its versatility, steady character and long shared history with Finnish people. At Ronivaara, you meet the horses as individuals in their everyday surroundings.

The experience 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 experience. 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 experience 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 stay at Ronivaara.

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

Horse welfare comes first

Ronivaara’s Finnhorses are known as individuals. Their health, behaviour, workload, recovery and everyday wellbeing guide both their daily care and the activities they take part in.

The horses live with other horses and have opportunities for movement, outdoor life, rest and species-typical behaviour.
