The calm farmyard, the steady steps of the Finnhorse and the changing season create the atmosphere of the ride already before departure. This is a peaceful trail experience for guests who want to enjoy nature from horseback with clear guidance and an unhurried evening mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience begins at Ronivaara Farm by meeting your horse. Before heading out, you receive a safety briefing, help with mounting if needed and initial guidance in the riding arena. The ride then continues from the farmyard towards forest, private routes and hill landscapes with your professional local guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pace is kept calm, and the ride is based on the group\u2019s abilities, the route, the conditions and the horses\u2019 wellbeing. The heart of the experience is the evening atmosphere: the horse\u2019s steps, the quieting landscape and the feeling of northern nature close around you from the saddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each season gives the evening ride a different character. Summer brings long northern light, autumn adds warm ruska colours, and winter brings blue-hour stillness, snow and quiet air. On clear winter evenings, moonlight, stars or northern lights may become part of the atmosphere, although natural phenomena can never be guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ride is carried out with the horses\u2019 wellbeing first. Ronivaara\u2019s Finnhorses are familiar with moving in nature and meeting different kinds of riders, and their steady presence suits the calm character of the evening ride.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ratsastusta_jonossa-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Maastoratsastusta Ruska Laukan tallilla Ruka-Kuusamossa\" class=\"wp-image-5356 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ratsastusta_jonossa-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ratsastusta_jonossa-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ratsastusta_jonossa-1-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ratsastusta_jonossa-1-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ratsastusta_jonossa-1-220x330.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ratsastusta_jonossa-1-172x257.jpg 172w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ratsastusta_jonossa-1-320x480.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ratsastusta_jonossa-1-600x899.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ratsastusta_jonossa-1.jpg 1334w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/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=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1685-2-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Riding in the moonlight\" class=\"wp-image-6191 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1685-2-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1685-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1685-2-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1685-2-220x146.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1685-2-387x257.jpg 387w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1685-2-480x319.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1685-2-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1685-2.jpg 1356w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When the Evening Changes the Ride<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This experience is for guests who want a calm moment in nature at the end of the day.
