The pace is calm, the guidance is clear and the experience is built around northern nature, Ronivaara\u2019s Finnhorses and a respectful way of working with horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The programme is suitable for guests who already have some experience on horseback. It is also a good choice for experienced riders who are looking for a peaceful nature-focused ride with Finnhorses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience begins at Ronivaara Farm by meeting your horse. Before heading onto the trail, you receive a clear safety briefing, help with mounting if needed and calm initial guidance in the riding arena. The ride then continues from Ronivaara\u2019s farmyard with your professional local guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The route may lead through private trails, woodland routes, fields and places where the hill landscape opens around you, depending on the day\u2019s conditions. Forest brings quietness to the ride, fields open the view and the shapes of the hills give the experience its northern character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This programme gives you more time on horseback. During the experience, you have time to notice the sure step of the Finnhorse, the quietness of the forest, the changing views and the way northern nature feels different from the saddle.<\/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, known for its versatility, steady character and long shared history with Finnish people. Ronivaara\u2019s Finnhorses are well suited to varied routes and northern nature, with their sure step, calm strength and reliable character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trail ride is carried out with the horses\u2019 wellbeing first. The route is chosen according to the conditions, the group and what is suitable for the horses, so the experience remains calm and good for both guests and horses.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-284511-holly-may-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Maastoratsastusta Ruska Laukan tallilla Ruka-Kuusamossa\" class=\"wp-image-6097 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-284511-holly-may-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-284511-holly-may-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-284511-holly-may-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-284511-holly-may-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-284511-holly-may-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-284511-holly-may-385x257.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-284511-holly-may-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-284511-holly-may-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-284511-holly-may.jpg 1999w\" 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=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-281111-holly-may-1500x967-1-1024x660.jpg\" alt=\"Maastoratsastusta Ruska Laukan tallilla Ruka-Kuusamossa\" class=\"wp-image-6095 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-281111-holly-may-1500x967-1-1024x660.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-281111-holly-may-1500x967-1-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-281111-holly-may-1500x967-1-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-281111-holly-may-1500x967-1-220x142.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-281111-holly-may-1500x967-1-400x257.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-281111-holly-may-1500x967-1-480x309.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-281111-holly-may-1500x967-1-600x387.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/20151216-281111-holly-may-1500x967-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Time with Nature from Horseback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This experience is for guests who want time to settle into the ride and notice the landscape around them: the quiet forest, open fields, the shapes of the hills and the steady presence of the Finnhorse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The longer duration gives the ride a calmer rhythm and more time on the route.
