It is made for visitors who want to try riding in nature, feel the quiet rhythm of a horse beneath them and experience the northern landscape from horseback in a gentle, guided way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience begins at Ronivaara Farm by meeting your horse. You receive clear safety instructions, help with mounting if needed and calm guidance before heading out. The start is unhurried, giving you time to get used to the horse, the saddle and the simple basics of being with a horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ride continues from the farmyard towards trails, forest or fields, depending on the day\u2019s conditions. The pace is kept peaceful, and the ride is adapted to the group\u2019s abilities, the route and the horses\u2019 wellbeing. The value of the experience is in the calm movement, the presence of the Finnhorse and the feeling of northern nature coming close from the saddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Finnhorse makes this ride special. It is Finland\u2019s native horse breed: strong, wise, versatile and trusting by nature. Ronivaara\u2019s Finnhorses are used to moving in nature and meeting different kinds of riders. Their sure step, calm strength and reliable character make the ride approachable also for first-time guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ronivaara is an authentic Finnhorse farm where the horses\u2019 wellbeing is the foundation of every experience. The ride is guided professionally and with the horses\u2019 wellbeing first, so that your first moments on a Finnhorse can feel clear, calm and memorable.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may-1024x783.jpg\" alt=\"Maastoratsastusta Ruska Laukan tallilla Ruka-Kuusamossa\" class=\"wp-image-6104 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may-1024x783.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may-768x587.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may-1536x1174.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may-170x130.jpg 170w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may-336x257.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may-1920x1467.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may-1400x1070.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may-480x367.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may-600x459.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-311011-holly-may.jpg 1998w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6H1A1659-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16902 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6H1A1659-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6H1A1659-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6H1A1659-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6H1A1659-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6H1A1659-1-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6H1A1659-1-386x257.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6H1A1659-1-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6H1A1659-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6H1A1659-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Easy Way to Experience Nature on Horseback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This programme is a good choice when you want a peaceful riding experience in nature without needing much previous riding experience.
