Cross-country riding

Cross-country riding is enjoyable and offers unforgettable experiences in nature. Our horses are calm and easy-going Finnish horses. So you don’t need years of riding experience to participate!

You can choose between a hour or few of cross-country riding or a longer trail ride. Routes of varying lengths are located in the surrounding countryside.

The trail rides take place on quiet dirt roads, field paths, and forest trails. You can come alone or with a group of friends. Everyone will have their own customized horseback riding experience!

The horses are used to moving both alone and in groups, on flat and varied terrain. They are also used to traffic.

If you have made a reservation and are unable to attend a booked cross-country ride, please contact us at least day before by the phone 044 584 5800 / Sales, thank you!

In case of illness, we can reschedule together your cross-country ride.

We recommend to reserve half an hour before and after the ride. If you wish, you are able to unsaddle and return the horses yourself on the stables or the pastures.
