The Gift of Horses

If you need a last-minute gift idea, there is a charming horse farm in Jõgeva County that offers a full equestrian experience for beginners and more experienced riders alike. The Forest Maiden Farm is the perfect getaway for families, groups of friends, and even unique corporate events, as they offer full accommodation, including breakfast and catering. Just choose the package you want on their site, and you’ll receive a digital PDF gift card immediately, which you can print out and wrap in a large gift box for an extra laugh.
The Forest Maiden Farm offers horseback riding for individuals, romantic couples, children, and larger groups. If you’ve never ridden a horse before, don’t worry: they’ll teach you. You can also practise vaulting, if this is something you’d like to try. You never know when you’ll need to quickly jump on a horse like in the movies. At the end of the day, take a relaxing sleigh ride in the snowy Estonian countryside, and then warm yourself up in the outdoor hot tub, or in the sauna.
This is also an ideal venue for a corporate event, such as a summer party or holiday party. The stage along with modern audio–visual equipment awaits the band of your choice. Meals can be catered separately or via the Farm itself.
The Forest Maiden Farm is located only 45 minutes north of Tartu, in central Estonia.
