Lapland and horse riding are the perfect match.
Let our horses guide you deep into the heart of Lapland on our horse riding tours – to places no car, no rush can reach.
Horse riding at Ylläs in every season.
Our farm is a home for 15 horses and ponies with varying looks, sizes, ages and personalities. With us, you’ll be able to enjoy Lapland and its nature by learning more about horses and horse riding around the year. The atmosphere at our farm is friendly and supportive, and we are highly concentrated on animal welfare. Konijänkkä is also a member stable of Finnish Equestrian Federation, offering horse riding activities for the local community year-round.
Trail riding tours in Ylläs wilderness are our most wanted services throughout the year, and probably our horses’ favourite too. In winter season we also offer horse sleigh rides in two ways – traditional snowy rides and occasional northern lights hunts. Off-season is great time for the horses to recharge at the Lappish meadows, working with locals at our summer riding camps and taking visitors for strolls around the woods every now and then.
We are a Finnish Equestrian Federation approved small riding school!
