June Kristiansen, a horsewoman in Norway, has been riding Norge horses since she was a young girl and now runs a riding business with her husband on their family farm. She works with all three Norwegian breeds and offers basic riding and horse care instruction, as well as trail rides and horse-drawn sleigh rides to see the Northern Lights.

The three national horse breeds in Norway are the Dole horse, the Nordland/Lyngen horse, and the Fjord. These breeds have a long history in Norway and are considered endangered, requiring conservation measures. Fjord horses, in particular, have a history of pure breeding in Norway and have made their way to the United States, with nearly 6,000 registered Fjords today.

Kristiansen owns Dole, Lyngs, and Fjord horses on her family farm, with a focus on preserving and promoting the Fjord breed for therapeutic riding. The farm, located near the remains of a German battleship from World War II, also raises sheep and operates a pet hotel for cats. Despite the harsh winter conditions in the Arctic, the farm welcomes winter tourists and offers outdoor activities to enjoy the Northern Lights.
