Evening ride with headlamps (approx. 1.5 hours)
A cozy horseback ride in a snow-covered winter landscape under the darkness of the evening. The ride takes place along winter trails under sparkling fir trees in the glow of headlamps. Participants get to experience the magical feeling of tranquility that comes with the evening. In clear weather, the northern lights or moonlight may illuminate the landscape along with the stars. The tour ends with mulled wine and hot chocolate by the campfire. The ride is at a walking pace and lasts about 1.5 hours.


Full-day tour During the full-day tour, participants accompany the horses from the morning when they are brought in and groomed, until the ride ends at dusk. During the day, leadership and simple horsemanship exercises are practiced to strengthen communication and the relationship with the horse. Riding takes place in untracked deep snow and on trails in snow-covered forests around the ranch. The tour offers opportunities for both trotting and delightful galloping. Lunch is served by an open fire, and in colder weather there are warm barbecue huts to warm up in. This is not a beginner's tour – participants should have good riding experience.
