The programme is suitable for riders who can control a horse well in trot and are able to ride outdoors in natural terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience begins at Ronivaara Farm, where you meet your horse before heading out. We go through the safety instructions, help with mounting if needed and prepare for the ride calmly. From the farm, your local guide leads the group onto the route, with the riders\u2019 level and the horses\u2019 wellbeing guiding the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route is chosen according to the day\u2019s conditions and may follow private woodland routes, trails or fields. The value of this experience is in riding a Finnhorse through real terrain: feeling the horse\u2019s sure step, strength and calm working mind as the route changes underfoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Finnhorse is at the heart of this ride. It is Finland\u2019s native horse breed: strong, wise, versatile and trusting by nature. On the trail, Ronivaara\u2019s Finnhorses show the qualities that make the breed so loved in Finland \u2014 reliability, strength, courage and a steady willingness to work with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ride is guided with care and with the horses\u2019 wellbeing first. The pace and route are adapted to the group\u2019s riding level, the terrain and the weather conditions, so the experience remains safe, enjoyable and suitable for both riders and horses   .<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2878-1024x808.jpg\" alt=\"Finnhorse trekking in Ruska Laukka Stables in Ruka-Kuusamo.\" class=\"wp-image-6233 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2878-1024x808.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2878-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2878-768x606.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2878-1536x1213.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2878-2048x1617.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2878-220x174.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2878-326x257.jpg 326w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2878-480x379.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2878-600x474.jpg 600w\" 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=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9135 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-220x220.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-257x257.jpg 257w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trails, Fields and Finnhorses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This experience is for riders who can control a horse well in trot and are able to ride outdoors in natural terrain.
