This horseback archery retreat is for horse riders with previous riding experience who are comfortable in walk, trot and canter, who are confident letting go of the reins, who can control their horse in all gates and tack/untack their horses independently. No previous archery experience is required.  

When shooting from the ground, all participants can shoot at the same time. However, during horseback shooting, riders take turns. This allows the horses to rest and gives participants the opportunity to observe others, learn from watching, and improve their technique.

Archery equipment is provided, including composite bows, carbon fiber arrows, and a selection of hip, back, and Mamluk-style quivers. We also provide riding helmets and all necessary tack for the horses.

Eva, the coach, will decide each day which horse each rider will be assigned. Please make sure to inform us in advance about your riding experience, horse preferences, and weight so that Eva can make appropriate assignments on the first day. During your stay, you are welcome to let Eva know if you would like to try a specific horse.

Please note that the weight limit is 90kg. 

Meals will be balanced, featuring seasonal vegetables with some French-Lappish-inspired dishes. While not every meal includes meat, a vegetarian option is always available, and guests with strict dietary requirements such as lactose intolerance or severe allergies should inquire before booking.

All participants are required to have valid travel insurance for the duration of the trip. Your insurance must explicitly cover horse riding and any related activities to ensure full protection during your stay.

Teaching language is English (or Finnish). Possibilities for French translations.
