... it was a spontaneously idea to have a riding tour at Caribou Rock.
Said and done, on Wednesday arrived our friends Solveig and Göran from Yrtivaara and Yvonne from Leipojärvi with their horses Liv, Odde and Gormur in Purnuvaara.
The mixed horse herd (Norrsvensk, Islandic and Victor) started their ride into Purnuvaara's wildlife. We crossed a small creek (Hjärtabäcken), ride through a wonderful fir- and pine forest up on a little mountain range where we had a great view over the whole landscape.
 |
| constantly changing terrain demanded horses and our attention and trained the balance |
 |
forest paths allowed really fast gallop passages, unbelievable how fast
650kg can be ;-) |
 |
| a coffee break let the horses breathe ... |
 |
| ... and we could enjoy the view and exchanged some riding experiences |
 |
our riding trail took app 5000kcal... for each horse...
by a daily demand of app 16-20000kcal/horse |
The riding trip took 3 hours and ended with 5 tiered horses and 5 happy humans. The crowning end was grilled sausage, cake and coffee together with our friends Pia and Johan, Mikke, Emilia (and her friend) who hadn't the possibility to join the ride in the morning.

| you don't need more to make life suitable ... |
It was a fantastic day and nice to see the respectful behavior between different horse breeds and their human friends. We are sure to make such riding tour again!
