Pörnä-Poika, a Finnish horse horse from Orivesi, is wise in nature. The owner of the horse, Aulikki Laine, says that the stallion is very calm but hard to work with.
- In that sense, very Finnish. It doesn’t thrive in the back of the yard, you have to do something with it. It is a typical multi-purpose Finnish horse, I use it both as a work horse and as a horse.
Horse fun is swimming, off-road riding and jumping. Laine originally bought the Son as a workhorse. However, it soon became apparent that it had gifts for jumping.
- I thought I have to give a chance if once jumping is what a horse wants to do.
Today Pörnä-Poika is one of the best Finnish horses with obstacles. On Saturday, the Boy will confront another Finnish horse, AT Musta-Ritar.
