The experience brings together a guided Finnhorse trail ride, meeting the horse and getting to know Ronivaara Farm, its stable environment and animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before heading onto the trail, you receive a safety briefing, help with mounting and initial guidance in the riding arena. Riders mount from a ramp, making mounting easier for the guest and more comfortable for the horse. During the initial guidance, you learn the basic aids: how to ask the horse to move forward, how to stop and how to guide the direction calmly and clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ride continues from Ronivaara\u2019s farmyard towards the quiet of the forest and northern nature with a professional local guide. The pace is kept calm, and the ride is based on the group\u2019s abilities, the route, the conditions and the horses\u2019 wellbeing.<\/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. Ronivaara\u2019s Finnhorses are used to moving in nature and meeting different kinds of riders, and their calm strength and reliable character suit this gentle trail experience well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the ride, the experience ends in the stable cabin with a seasonal drink and a small snack.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-342111-holly-may-1500x662-1-1024x452.jpg\" alt=\"Maastoratsastusta Ruska Laukan tallilla Ruka-Kuusamossa\" class=\"wp-image-6109 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-342111-holly-may-1500x662-1-1024x452.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-342111-holly-may-1500x662-1-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-342111-holly-may-1500x662-1-768x339.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-342111-holly-may-1500x662-1-220x97.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-342111-holly-may-1500x662-1-400x177.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-342111-holly-may-1500x662-1-480x212.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-342111-holly-may-1500x662-1-600x265.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-342111-holly-may-1500x662-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center is-image-fill-element\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Complete Ronivaara Farm Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This programme is a good choice when you want more than time in the saddle.
