Lapland’s Wild Gallop: A 2‑Hour Cross‑Country Horseback Safari for Experienced Riders in Simo.
This is a brisk, physically demanding cross-country ride through Simo’s remote countryside, built for intermediate-to-advanced or competition‑level riders. Over two hours in the saddle you’ll follow private farm roads, forest trails and off‑road stretches that may include water or ice crossings, small jumps over ditches and even river passages. The operator runs the ride once per day for a single group, with extra time to relax and have snacks afterward — the overall experience is about four hours.
