It brings together Ronivaara\u2019s Finnhorses, a professional local guide and the northern landscape of Ruka-Kuusamo: quiet forests, open rural views and the soft shapes of the hills. The experience feels personal from the beginning, because the ride is created around your own group rather than an open group departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience begins with a personal welcome at Ronivaara Farm and a calm meeting with the horses. Suitable Finnhorses are chosen for your group according to the participants\u2019 riding experience. Before heading onto the trail, you receive a safety briefing, help with mounting if needed and initial guidance in the riding arena. During the guidance, you go through 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\">Your local guide then takes you out from Ronivaara\u2019s farmyard towards the forest, open countryside and the hill landscapes of Kuusamo. The pace is kept calm, and the ride is guided according to the riders\u2019 experience, the route, the conditions and the horses\u2019 wellbeing. With only your own group on the ride, the experience has a calm and personal character: time with the horses, the landscape and the people you came with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Finnhorse is at the heart of the ride. It is Finland\u2019s native horse breed: strong, wise, versatile and trusting by nature. Ronivaara\u2019s Finnhorses are known for their sure step, calm strength and reliable character, making them well suited to a private trail ride where horse, rider and northern nature can meet without hurry.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1845-681x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Ruska Laukan tallilla ratsastus- ja teemap\u00e4ivi\u00e4 harrastaja perheiden kanssa Ruka Kuusamossa\" class=\"wp-image-6215 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1845-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1845-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1845-768x1154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1845-1022x1536.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1845-220x331.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1845-171x257.jpg 171w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1845-319x480.jpg 319w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1845-600x902.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1845.jpg 1288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/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=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201104-WA0005-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Maastoratsastusta suomenhevosilla Ruska Laukan tallilla Ruka-Kuusamossa\" class=\"wp-image-6468 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201104-WA0005-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201104-WA0005-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201104-WA0005-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201104-WA0005-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201104-WA0005-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201104-WA0005-386x257.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201104-WA0005-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201104-WA0005-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ruskalaukka.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG-20201104-WA0005.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Own Riding Experience at Ronivaara<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This experience is for couples, friends and small private groups who want a more personal way to ride with Finnhorses.
