More Than a Business - A Life with Finnhorses
A locally owned family business shared by more than 40 years with horses.
Our Story
Aurora Horses began as a lifelong dream and has grown into a family business rooted in respect, patience and a deep connection with horses.
For more than 40 years, we have worked, learned and lived alongside Finnhorses in the heart of Lapland.
What started as a small riding stable has become a place where visitors from around the world can experience the calm, strength and honesty of Finland’s national horse – and the quiet beauty of Lapland.
We welcome every guest as part of our story.
Meet Finland's National Horse
The Finnhorse is a calm, sure-footed and versatile breed that has lived and worked alongside the people of Finland for generations.
Strong, kind and dependable, Finnhorses are perfectly suited to Lapland’s changing seasons. Their gentle temperament makes them trusted companions for horseback riding, traditional sleigh rides and peaceful encounters in nature.
Spend a moment with a Finnhorse and you will soon understand what makes Finland’s national horse so special.
Animal Welfare First
Our horses’ well-being is our highest priority. Their health, workload, feeding, rest and individual needs are monitored carefully every day.
Our horses are our trusted colleagues and valued members of the Aurora Horses family. Every experience is planned around their well-being, and activities may be adjusted according to the individual horse, weather conditions and the demands of the season. A healthy, content and well-rested horse is the foundation of a safe and meaningful experience for everyone.
