What defines riding in Finland?
Finland's terrain is still rising from post-glacial rebound, lifting the land near the Gulf of Bothnia by about one centimetre each year. Taiga forest blankets over two-thirds of the country, stretching from southern provinces to the fells of Lapland. The Finnish Horse, strong, steady, and good-tempered, carries riders through this boreal landscape, even near the Arctic Circle. Folk traditions like Sami music and the classical works of Jean Sibelius run deep in the culture that shapes every visit.
