Our farm Svanström is situated in the small village of Svansele, in the Swedish region called Västerbotten. Not far away from the Arctic Circle, we are at the door of Lapland, this wonderful and mystical polar region, the land of snow, ice, berries, reindeers and mooses.
All around us we can enjoy the peace and the wild feeling of the Taiga, also known as boreal forest or snow forest. In Sweden, the Taiga consists in wide forests of pines, spruce and birch, and inhabited by thousands of wild animals such as elks, foxes, lynx and even bears. When in the forest, we can also meet the Sami people with their herd of reindeers.
It is in this mysterious and quiet landscape that we offer you to ride, just for an hour or for a few days. Come and discover the Taiga on horseback!
