\"\"One Saturday morning a surprise awaited us. The boys said surprisingly that \u201cwhy always go to the slopes\u201d and so it was time to come up with something else for them. Our ears were worn Tahko Farm<\/a> The adventure of a stable elf<\/em> and it was indeed suitable as a 5-year birthday program for the day hero-Sulo & brothers. When we arrived at the farm, we were received by two stable elves, who already had a program ready for us. The boys were a little amazed at the age of the elves; one of the elves reported being 300 and the other 351 years old. Sulo informed the elves that he is now 5 years old. In addition to Sulo, our gang included Aapo 8-year and Emil 8-year. And as a confirmation, we had Linnea 12 years old. <\/p>\n

For sleigh rides<\/h2>\n

The adventure started with picking up the Pehtoori horse from the corral and preparing him for the sled. We went through the horse\u2019s sleigh equipment and harnessed it. Both the western and the bellows became familiar. After that we went on a truck ride. \"\"<\/p>\n

Riding<\/h2>\n

The truck ride was fun and the next was a leash ride. Before the ride, the horse was brushed and saddled; then it was on the horse. \"\"<\/p>\n

ATVs<\/h2>\n

The boys had a smile on their faces when the next thing we did was to ride the ATVs on the track. After the leaders’ meeting, the boys put away in the bird and sometimes we also went to the bench. \"\"<\/p>\n

Animal feeding<\/h2>\n

After the ride, we went inside to see the animals and there were many of them, my favourite being the rabbits. The Pipsa pig was also very interested. After getting acquainted with the animals, a small juice break was taken and the process of making and fetching snacks for the animals was started. The children were allowed to pick up hay with wheelbarrows and were taught in the “animal kitchen” to dispense and make sapusses suitable for each animal species. And then the children were allowed to feed the animals themselves. \"\" The whole programme lasted 3 hours and what a wonder it was for the city boys. The stable elf program is suitable for girls and boys aged 7-14 independently, it makes it easy for a parent to go skiing or downhill. It is good for the younger ones to have a parent with them. There is a lot outside and it is quite cool inside in winter as well, so it is worth putting on clothes well according to the weather. All in all, excellent!
