Clothing/gear Helmets are required for all riders and the helmet is included to the price. You will be provided with warm riding gear in winter (an overall, a coat, boots, socks, hat under the helmet and riding cloves). If you want to use your own clothing, please dress up very warmly! In summer the helmet, a raincoat and rubberboots are included. Please note, that shorts are not a good idea for riding. Suitability You need to be reasonably fit to do horse riding, but these trips suit even for people with no previous experience of horse riding. Please let us know about your riding abilities so that we can choose the right group and the right horse for you. Please note that if you are coming with your own group of people, we do not canter with novice riders, tolting might be possible. We expect previous, regular riding experience from under 12 year olds on all rides. The children must have the ability to control the horse and follow instructions. Safety We follow the instructions of The Finnish Consumer Acency and we have the required safety plan for the rides. We expect you to have your own personal insurance. Weight Riders must not weigh more than 100 kg. Guiding The guiding is in Finnish/English. Our guides are trained professionals. Horses All our horses are Icelandic horses. They are considered small (averaging 12.2 to 14.1 hands/125-155 cm in height) but very strong for their size. The Icelandic horse is well known of its wonderful character and their special gaits. Apart from walk, trot and canter, most of the Icelandic horses are able to tolt and some of them also go in pace. In tolt the horse moves its legs in the same sequence as while walking, but faster. The tolt is very smooth and pleasure to ride. The pace is a gait where the horse moves both legs of one side at the same time. It is consired a gait for racing, and that´s why we don´t ride pace in our treks. We do not knowingly keep any horses that we feel cause a riding problem. All horses are properly shod (in winter they have studs in shoes), vaccinated, vetted and cared for. All horses are easy to handle and as they always live in a herd, they tolerate each other well. The saddles are Icelandic (English style). The trails In winter time the snowy trails are either made by the horses or plowed so that tolting or cantering is possible. The terrain is easy to ride and the trails are mainly in the forest.
