Ride, dine and stay on an Icelandic farm

Everything about this beautiful place exceeded expectations. It felt more like visiting someone’s home than a place of business. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed into a beautiful experience. From meeting the horses, to learning about them and how to connect with them. Hordur is an exceptional host and teacher. He and his staff, every single one a gem, were fully invested in the experience of the guests and of the horses. We loved how they honored and respected the wants and needs of the horses on par with those of the guests. How beautiful and rare.

The dinner was delicious and the experience of sharing a table and conversation with Hordur and the other fellow guests, was one we will not forget. I cannot recommend a visit to this special place highly enough. I will carry these memories with me for years to come.

Our visit to Hordur’s farm was a magical and genuinely transcendent experience.

Somehow, Hordur and his talented and warm staff, are able, in an entirely authentic way, to make you feel as if you are his exclusive personal guests, brought into his home and world to share in the wonder of connecting to a stunning natural land, and to understand horses and riding in a fundamentally spiritual way. We learned more about these magnificent creatures and the art of riding in one day with Hordur than we did in 2 weeks at a Wyoming (USA) ranch!

Beyond the beauty of the farm, the riding, and the lovely accommodations, the meal with Hordur and the other guest who was present was filled with incredibly delicious and fresh offerings (the leg of lamb was succulent and aesthetically beautiful in its service), along with real conversation of personal sharing, depth, and substance. In a world where all these qualities seem so often under assault, the experience at Mr. Iceland literally restores faith in humanity, meaning, and the importance of cherishing our natural world.

İzlanda seyahatimizin en unutulmaz deneyimlerinden biri kesinlikle burasıydı.
Daha önce atlara hiç bu kadar yaklaşmamış, onları sevmemiş ya da binmemiştik. Hördur, ilk andan itibaren kendinizi rahat ve güvende hissetmenizi sağlayan, son derece deneyimli ve sıcak bir ev sahibi. Bize sadece ata binmeyi öğretmedi; atlarla nasıl bağ kurabileceğimizi ve nasıl iletişim kurabileceğimizi de gösterdi.
Kısa bir eğitimden sonra çıktığımız arazi turu gerçekten büyüleyiciydi. Rüzgârı hissederek, doğanın içinde, atınızla uyum içinde ilerlemek tarifsiz bir özgürlük duygusu yaratıyor. Bir noktadan sonra sadece anın içinde kalıyor ve etrafınızdaki güzelliğin tadını çıkarıyorsunuz.
Turun ardından atlarla vedalaşıp Hördur'un hazırladığı sofraya oturuyorsunuz. Yemekler ve şaraplar muhteşemdi. Ancak bizi en çok etkileyen şey, masadaki atmosfer oldu. Farklı ülkelerden gelen yedi kişi, sanki yıllardır birbirini tanıyan arkadaşlar gibi sohbet ediyor, gülüyor ve hikâyeler paylaşıyordu. Hördur'un misafirperverliği ve cömertliği bu deneyimi gerçekten özel kılıyor.
Burası sadece bir at turu değil; doğayla, hayvanlarla ve insanlarla bağ kurduğunuz, uzun süre unutamayacağınız bir deneyim. İzlanda'ya gelen herkese gönülden tavsiye ederiz.

Highlight of our Iceland trip! We stayed overnight and did the horseriding and dinner. It was an absolute highlight of our Iceland Ring Road trip! The farm is absolutely stunning and the cabins are lovely, kitted out with all you could need.
I love horses, but hadn’t ridden for about 20 years. The horses are incredibly friendly and well trained. I really appreciated Mr Iceland’s approach to riding, he encourages you to connect with your horse through grooming, a quick intro ride in the arena and then you head out on a stunning trail ride across his farm. Tolting on an Icelandic horse is something I will never forget!
Then you have a beautiful dinner in a cozy room off the stables.
Mr Iceland is a must do for anyone who wants to get up close to the amazing icelandic horses!

Mr. Iceland A small group experience with the Icelandic horses of Mr Iceland. He will first teach you how to be comfortable with the horses, and how to ride before setting out for a ride on his farm. After the ride you will share dinner with him at the farm. He served wine, salad, potatoes and leg of lamb (from his own sheep farm). An unforgettable day!

Must do Iceland Experience We have been to Iceland twice and Mr. Icelands farm, housing and horseback riding are all excellent. Definitely one of the best experiences we had in Iceland. Hordur (Mr.Iceland) and his team are great. They provide extensive instruction to assure a safe and enjoyable riding experience. The dinner Hordur cooked after the ride was excellent and we saw the Northern Lights from right outside the cabin in which we stayed. Chapeau Hordur and team, two thumbs up, we highly recommend this experience.
