Horseback archery requires a unique combination of balance, focus and connection with the horse.
Improving these skills takes time, repetition and an environment where riders can concentrate fully on their training.
The Horseback Archery Training Camp at Ranch Kuulas offers exactly that environment.
Over four days, participants train under the guidance of Anni Jauhiainen, one of Europe’s most accomplished horseback archers. Training sessions focus on improving both technical archery skills and riding control.
Mounted practice takes place on the ranch’s horseback archery tracks, including both Tower and Raid courses, allowing riders to develop different shooting patterns and riding strategies.
Ground archery sessions support the mounted training by strengthening shooting technique, body awareness and consistency.
The training schedule combines focused technical sessions with time for recovery and reflection. Riders also benefit from a supportive group atmosphere where participants share knowledge, experiences and encouragement.
Evenings are spent enjoying good food, sauna and the calm surroundings of the ranch, while the northern summer light continues late into the night.
This camp is designed to help riders grow as horseback archers while experiencing the unique atmosphere of Lapland’s summer.
