We go through the safety instructions, help with mounting if needed and start with guidance in the arena to find a clear and comfortable start together with the horse. This helps the group head out onto the trail in a calm, safe and well-prepared way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route continues through Ronivaara\u2019s forest surroundings, field edges and the hill landscapes of the Ruka\u2013Kuusamo region. The terrain brings natural rhythm and variety to the ride: the forest comes close around you, more open areas give space to the view, and the shapes of the hills make the route feel alive. This is an experience for riders who enjoy moving through nature with the horse and adjusting to the landscape as it changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Finnhorse is at the heart of the experience. It is Finland\u2019s native horse breed: strong, wise, versatile and trusting by nature. The Finnhorse is at the heart of the experience. It is Finland\u2019s native horse breed, known for its versatility, steady character and long shared history with Finnish people. For a confident rider, the Finnhorse\u2019s sure-footed movement, steady character and calm strength become part of the experience as the terrain changes beneath you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the ride, the experience ends in Ronivaara\u2019s stable cabin with a seasonal drink. This peaceful closing moment brings together the movement of the Finnhorse, the nature of Kuusamo and the warm atmosphere of Ronivaara Farm.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200204_142208-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Forest riding with finnhorses in Ruska Laukka in Ruka-Kuusamo\" class=\"wp-image-520 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200204_142208-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200204_142208-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200204_142208-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200204_142208-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200204_142208-220x293.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200204_142208-193x257.jpg 193w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200204_142208-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200204_142208-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/20200204_142208-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center is-image-fill-element\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3081-853x1280-1-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Forest riding in Ruska Laukka in Ruka-Kuusamo\" class=\"wp-image-6249 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3081-853x1280-1-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3081-853x1280-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3081-853x1280-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3081-853x1280-1-220x330.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3081-853x1280-1-171x257.jpg 171w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3081-853x1280-1-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3081-853x1280-1-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3081-853x1280-1.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Strength and Steady Movement of the Finnhorse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This programme is for riders who want a skill-matched trail experience with more time to settle into the horse\u2019s rhythm and the changing terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guided through forests, field edges and hill scenery, the ride brings together the steady movement of the Finnhorse, varied Kuusamo landscapes and a peaceful ending in Ronivaara\u2019s stable cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good to know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Who is this experience for?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trail ride is suitable for riders who can control a horse well in trot and are able to ride outdoors in natural terrain.
