The Saga Long Ride
Five or seven days

Long lovely rides through forested hills and over picturesque pastures on Natural Horsemanship trained North Swedish horses. You will be given a thorough briefing on these sturdy strong horses and how we ride them. You will get plenty of time to get to know your horse before we set off. Before galloping we make sure rider and horse understand each other and work well together. There is plenty of time for nice, long gallops anyway. Nature here is hilly and we see very few humans, more wildlife actually. We pass places with splendid views, pass secluded forest lakes and lively forest streams.

You sleep in a newly renovated timber log house on the farm in a room with 2 or 3 beds, all 3 rooms ensuite. One night is spent in a Sámi tepee at our camp by a small forest lake. There we dine festively like they did 1 000 years ago. Other evening Supper is served in our farmhouse pub, where you can linger in the evenings.
Food is local produce and from the waters and forests around. A lot of fish and game is used, and it is possible to do some shopping of local handicraft.
On the same tour it is possible to choose five days and four nights with three days riding or seven days and six nights with five days riding.
