Swim with a Finnish Horse in Lake Puruvesi – Authentic Nordic Experience

Horses are swam daily May-September, weather permitting.

On a beautiful summer day, it is exciting to experience a horse swimming in the clear Puruvesi. The rider guides the horse while sitting on his back. Before and after swimming, the rider takes care of the horse, for example by brushing.

Booking & information: Horse swimming is a seasonal activity (summer to early autumn) and available by reservation. Suitable for solo riders, small groups and families.

It takes about 30-45 minutes to swim and take care of the horse. If the rider has no previous experience, the horse will be leashed during the ride.

The level of competence in horse riding is moderate. Swimming skills are recommended but not mandatory.

We recommend wearing long pants. Shoes are left out for swimming.
