Where Finnhorses Lead the Way

Ranch Kuulas is a small Finnish ranch just outside Rovaniemi. We live and work here with our Finnhorses throughout the year, following the rhythm of the seasons.

Guests join us for unhurried rides through forests and hills, for simple meals prepared in a wood-fired oven, and for quiet evenings on the ranch. Everything is kept small-scale and personal.

Our focus is straightforward: calm horses, safe guidance, honest food, and time spent outdoors.
This is everyday life in Lapland, shared with those who want to experience it.

From June to early August, we ride in long northern light through quiet forests and open hills, in small groups with steady Finnhorses and an unhurried pace.

The Ranch & Our Way of Working

Ranch Kuulas is a working Finnish ranch just outside Rovaniemi.
We welcome guests year-round and share daily life with our Finnhorses.

About us

We are a small working ranch outside Rovaniemi, where we live and work with Finnhorses throughout the year. Our riding takes place on forest trails and open terrain shaped by the northern seasons, using Finland’s native horse breed known for its strength, steady temperament, and long history.

We guide our rides in small groups and match each horse carefully to the rider’s experience. Alongside riding, we prepare meals at Restaurant Loimu in a wood-fired oven and are opening farmhouse-style accommodation in summer 2026 for guests who want to stay longer in a quiet rural setting.
