Äimärautio is about a community, brought together by a shared passion and a total dedication for horses, and for whom horses are a way of life. In 2015–2017, Leinonen photographed this life circle so familiar to her from her childhood’s riding school years. Äimärautio is a horse racing centre located in Oulu. The strength of the documentary book is in its close gaze. The classically handsome entity comprises intensive portraits, milieu images, and photographs that through details present many phenomena of the contemporary horse riding world.
