Týr frá Litla-Moshvoli

Gelding born 2012
a. Ás frá Ármóti
u. Tign frá Litla-Moshvoli

A big bay laphorse. Tyr came to us in the beginning of 2019. At that time he had not been introduced to a rider, nor had he been handled much. But during the summer of 2020 he tagged along on a few tours. He likes being involved and cuddling, perhaps more with humans than with other horses. Loves water.

Smilla

A wild lady, born 2015. She learns quick but has a lot of her own will. A mixture between Finnish Sami dog and Border Collie. Follows on some riding tours but prefer the snowmobile tours.

Lunar

King of the stable. Quite social but disappears when it’s to much people. Keeps the mice away with some help from the dogs. Born in 2004.

Ben and Girjjat

Ben, also called “Elvis”, and Girjjat are our new goats. They moved to us in 2021. Girjjat is Sami and means the color spotted, a “lappget” (Sami goat), girl. Little Ben is an African dwarf goat (castrated male). 

Reindeer

Both Kerstin and Matti own reindeer. They are in the mountains in the summer and wander down to the woodlands in the winter time. For us, the reindeer is a really important animal and a big part of the Sami culture.

Moose

During winter timer we usually have as many moose as we have horses at the farm. They come here to steal hay from the horses and walk around however they like.
