TLDR: Just book! You will not regret it.
The full experience was one of the absolute highlights of my entire time in Iceland! Hörður doesn't just throw you on a horse and take off. He taught you how to work with the horse and lead … More with confidence, resulting in a magical experience, despite the rain. I loved it so much I only wished I could have booked a second ride during my trip. The dinner and conversation with our group after the ride was great! He has created such a warm and calm environment, everyone was able to relax and enjoy the evening. If ever I'm fortunate enough to return to Iceland, this will be my first stop!
Thanks for everything, Hörður & team! -
Incredible experience! We booked the horseback riding and dinner package, along with a cabin for an overnight stay. The entire experience was flawless - having never ridden a horse before, I was quite nervous, but Mr. Iceland made me feel … More completely comfortable, and before I knew it, we were riding through rivers and open fields!
The dinner was magical - a small, intimate setup with candles, delicious food, and great conversation. Afterwards, we headed to our cabin, which was modern, stylish, and had the most comfortable bed with an incredible view.. waking up to see horses right outside our window was unforgettable.
This was my second trip to Iceland, and it’s easily one of the best experiences I’ve had in the country. You absolutely can’t miss this! -
Staying at sleeping with the horses was amazing! The cabins are fantastic with lots of room and a great place to see the Northern lights since it is in the countryside and away from light pollution. We also got to see the horses and they … More walk right up to you near the cabins!
We also recommend riding with Mr. Iceland! We went with him to the black sand beach and riding an Icelandic horse was one of the highlights of our trip! Great place to stay! Thank you Mr. Iceland! -
Our time at Mr Iceland was truly magical. The instruction was patient, kind and clear, plus you learn about the fascinating history of the Icelandic horse. No matter your skill level, you're empowered to ride the trail around the … More property...and it's a breathtaking experience!t The dinner afterwards was relaxed and excellent. We stayed in one of the cabins on the farm any it was cozy and peaceful. We're from a big city so the vastness and tranquility fed our souls! We highly recommend a ride and stay at Mr Iceland....what an authentic and special way to end our time in this gorgeous country. Thank you, Anne and Cooper

We had the most amazing time during our horseback riding and dinner adventure! For those who have done trail riding during vacations in the USA, this is so much more personal and informative. The host clearly cares for the wellbeing of … More all his horses and how to foster trust between the rider and horse. If we ever make the trip back to Iceland, we’ll be back for another visit!

If you’re visiting Iceland, you have to do this. This isn’t just a horseback ride — it’s spending time on Hörður’s farm, where he grows his own crops, raises and breeds his horses, and takes care of sheep. He also has two dogs who are honestly … More the cutest. You can tell right away how much he cares about his animals and his land.
I had never been on a horse before, and he made it easy and comfortable, step by step. By the end, I felt confident and actually connected with the horse. Dinner afterward was amazing — home-cooked, delicious, and a chance to just sit and talk with Hörður for hours, who’s one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met.
Skip the cookie-cutter tours. This was one of the best experiences I had in Iceland.
