In the morning, the Finnhorses are in their herds in the paddocks and shelters, feeding begins and the farmyard gradually comes to life. During this private morning, your own group joins these ordinary moments together with your guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finnhorses of different ages live at Ronivaara, including foals. There is time to stop by the paddocks and watch the horses together: which horses stay close to each other, how they move within the herd and how individual ways of behaving begin to show when you take time to look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your guide knows the Ronivaara horses and tells you about them as you move around the farmyard \u2014 who they are, their ages, their backgrounds and the little things that make each horse an individual. Through the horses living here, you also hear about the Finnhorse, Finland\u2019s native horse breed, and its long connection with everyday life on Finnish farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The morning follows what the animals need that day. You take part in feeding and suitable small morning tasks together with your guide. At the same time, you see horse wellbeing in practical everyday details: feeding, rest, movement, herd life and the daily attention given to each horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/A7R3103-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12921 size-full\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/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=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7156-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15774 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7156-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7156-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7156-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7156-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7156-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7156-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7156-386x257.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7156-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_7156-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In the Rhythm of a Ronivaara Morning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other animals are part of the morning too. You meet the sheep and chickens in the farmyard and can take part in their feeding. What is happening around the farm changes with the season \u2014 snow and frost in winter, melting snow in spring, grazing season in summer and colder mornings returning in autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With your own group, there is also time simply to stop and watch. Your guide helps you notice things that might otherwise pass unnoticed and shares stories about the horses, their lives and the everyday routines of the farm. No two mornings at Ronivaara are exactly the same: the animals, the season and the things that need to be done that day shape the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You join the parts of the morning that guests can safely take part in while the ordinary life of the farm continues around you. At the end, you gather in the stable cabin for a warm drink. The animals\u2019 day continues from there.<\/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 private morning is suitable for families, couples, friends and small groups who want to spend time with Finnhorses and other farm animals and see everyday life at Ronivaara from close by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No previous horse or farm experience is required.
