Unforgettable horseback adventure in the heart of Lapland! - We had an absolutely wonderful horseback riding experience at Aurora Horses in Rovaniemi! The horses were incredibly gentle and easy-going, making us feel at ease despite our lack of riding experience. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, ensuring we felt confident and safe throughout the tour. The scenic beauty of Lapland added to the magic, making it an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to enjoy the serene landscapes of Rovaniemi on horseback! 🐴❄️

Wonderful experience in the snow - If you love horses and have always wanted to go horse riding in the snow and in the great outdoors, you should do this! A lovely hostess who welcomed us warmly and showed us the stables and the horses. Then we were allowed to go horse riding in the nature and afterwards there was hot chocolate and marshmallows..😊

A great memorable experience - It was an excellent activity. Very professional, long path through snowy forest, easy access from Santa's village in a walking distance. I highly recommend it. Don't miss that before leaving.

Incredible experience, super kind instructor - Riding a finnhorse through the snow is an incredible experience in itself, the kindness of the instructor and the almost friend-like connection just adds to it. She makes sure you’re safe at all times and it was by far the best activity I got to do at Santa clause Village!

Riding in a winter wonderland - We had a fabulous ride through the forest in the snow and just as the sun was setting. My son had never ridden before and he was assisted really well. Definitely going back in the summer for riding in the midnight sun. Fabulous!
