What to expect

Spend a private day at a Finnish riverside harness horse farm, where there is no rush, no crowds and no fixed schedule.

Meet the horses and experience harness riding with one of the farm’s retired racehorses. Choose your own pace, from a gentle ride to a faster race-style ride in a sulky with an experienced trainer.

Then travel by boat along the natural state Vantaanjoki River and explore a secluded natural river pool accessible only by boat, with the possibility of seeing local wildlife like herons, swans, ducks, beavers, otters and other birds.

Back at the farm, prepare a seasonal meal over an open fire and enjoy dinner on the riverside terrace. The menu is prepared by a professional chef using natural, seasonal and local ingredients. You can share your preferences or leave the menu to the chef. The menu varies depending on availability of ingredients.

This is a real Finnish horse farm where the hosts live and work every day. Nothing here has been built to imitate the Finnish countryside — you are already in it.

By the end of the day, you may realize you haven't looked at your watch for hours. For a little while, stop chasing time and simply enjoy the moment.
