Our Pony Adventures

A Visit to the Pony Farm

• Available year-round

Visit the pony farm at a time arranged just for you. You’ll get to explore a traditional Finnish farmyard, where some of the buildings are over 100 years old, and even the bricks of the stable have been made using traditional methods. The owner of the estate, Heini, can also tell you more about Finnish lifestyle and culture.

You will get to meet our ponies, who live together as a herd in a large enclosure all year round. Children can enjoy a pony ride of approximately 45 minutes in the surroundings of the pony farm, while adults are welcome to walk alongside. After the ride, we will take care of the ponies together, and you can help with feeding them.

• The visit lasts one and half (1.5) hour and includes approximately 45 minutes of riding. The price is €65 per child/rider. A maximum of two children or riders.

Please ask separately if there are more than two children or riders. Adults are also welcome to ride.

Please note: During the summer, longer rides for children can also be arranged.
