A must-do at SCV - Just an incredible way to spend an hour and a bit - we rode through beautiful snowy forest and then returned with time to take photos with the horses and warm drinks and marshmallows in a hut - a must do and our seven year old thought it was fantastic. Note of caution - it’s at least a 10min walk from the main SCV area so build that in

Lovely ride in the snowy woodland on very safe horses - We turned up having not pre booked as we had other activities booked at SCV and didn’t know if we would have time. We were greeted and told to wait a short while and then we could go out riding! We didn’t expect to be able to go so soon, so this was great! We were able to look at the horses in the fields and wait inside the office. The horses were all well cared for. Our guide asked if we had experience and catered to our experience. We ended up being the only couple so this was lovely. It was pretty riding through the snowy woodland. The Finnhorses were wonderfully safe, never spooked at a thing. Knew their job but had some go in them. It was enjoyable but ensure you bring gloves as it gets chilly!

Beautiful and superb walk 🙂 - Very nice walk with very welcoming and smiling staff, beautiful landscape and very relaxing. The horses were very beautiful and very disciplined, we recommend this activity to do to recharge, at the end we were allowed a small fire in a cabin with biscuit, marshmallow and a hot drink with red fruits.
