Our Home: The Stunning Nurminiemi Equestrian Estate in Kuusamo
Aurora Donkey Tours at Nurminiemi Equestrian Estate
Aurora Donkey Tours operates in Kuusamo at the Nurminiemi equestrian estate, which offers first-class facilities that align with its values for both animals and visitors. The estate is located in a scenic spot on the shore of Lake Kuusamojärvi, only about a ten-minute (3 km) drive from the center of Kuusamo, making it easy to join animal excursions in Kuusamo.
A Modern Equestrian Estate Designed for Animal Welfare
The estate’s impressive and modern log buildings have been designed and constructed with animal welfare, safety, and comfort as the top priorities. The active and vibrant stable community is further enhanced by the fact that the equestrian estate offers high-quality stalls for privately owned horses under a self-care model, making Nurminiemi an attractive option for horse owners in the Kuusamo area.
Animal welfare at the heart of stables and loose housing
Modern stables and loose housing that support wellbeing
At the heart of the farm are the stables and loose housing facilities completed in 2010 and 2013, built from Finnish laminated log. The natural log structures provide ideal conditions for the animals, as the wood naturally absorbs and releases moisture, keeping the stable air fresh, clean and healthy all year round.
The main stable has seven spacious stalls, and its modern ventilation system is equipped with heat recovery, which improves the wellbeing of both animals and caretakers. In the yard area there are also large and comfortable loose housing buildings with service facilities, where the animals can move freely and live as species-typically and stress-free as possible.
Ympärivuotinen, valoisa hirsimaneesi
Meillä toimintaa eivät sääolosuhteet rajoita! Päätallista on suora käynti tilan upeaan, valoisaan hirsimaneesiin (kooltaan 22 m x 42 m). Maneesin seinämateriaalina käytetty paksu lamellihirsi toimii loistavana luonnollisena lämpöeristeenä: se pitää maneesin talvipakkasilla useita asteita ulkoilmaa lämpimämpänä ja kesällä miellyttävän viileänä. Maneesissa on myös katsomo vieraita varten, ja siellä on turvallista sekä mukavaa harrastaa ja pitää leirejä säästä riippumatta ympäri vuoden.
Inviting customer facilities and an atmospheric grill hut
At the riding estate, visitors are welcomed by beautiful and comfortable reception and customer facilities, featuring an elegant natural stone floor as well as clean and well-maintained social and restroom areas. As the highlight of experiences and nature adventures, a large, atmospheric grill hut rises in the yard, accommodating up to dozens of people at a time. In the glow of the open fire, it is perfect to enjoy a hot drink, grill sausages, and unwind at the end of a successful day outdoors.
