Small groups only for real horse riding experience
Riding a horse in Iceland is a cultural experience
We have been riding the Icelandic horse since the settlement of Iceland. The Icelandic sagas are full of descriptions of the Vikings riding their Icelandic horses not only for battles but also for social gatherings, where they would ride the Icelandic horse together from farm to farm and visit political allies, friends or family.

Sleeping with the horses
Riding a horse is only a part of the experience of visiting the Mr Iceland farm.
We practice spiritual and physical connection with the horse and with that in mind we designed the “sleeping with the horses” cabins.
The cabins are placed in the middle of the field, surrounded with an amazing view of horses, glaciers and volcanos.
1100 years of tradition, education and culture
Have dinner with a real Viking
After the ride we sit down at the long table and feast! We tell stories of our ancestors – the Vikings, stories of good and evil but we also love to hear stories from other countries and cultures that you want to share. The dinner consists of local food, lamb and local vegetables. The dinner is a place where we sit down and share our experiences, dreams and tell stories.
There are only 8 seats available at the table.
We are looking forward to having you at our table – welcome my friend!

What an amazing experience my wife had. She has an Icelandic horse at our small farm. So when we traveled to Iceland it was on top of her list and Mr. Iceland did not disappoint. We got there way too early but his helper a woman from France … More made us some coffee and was very helpful with everything. Mr. Iceland had my wife brush out the horse and had her take the horse to the arena for a demonstration on what skill level she was. We booked the black sand beach tour which requires an advanced level horse rider. She was out of the training arena in. No time and they were on their way. They headed down the road. Crossed a couple fields and rivers and made their way to the sand. He took her phone and got her several amazing photos and he told her many stories along the way. He was patient and kind and she had an amazing time. If you are wanting to ride a horse in iceland Then book with Mr Iceland! -
The horseback riding tour and dinner was by far one of my favorite parts of my trip to Iceland. It was such an incredible experience. Hörður was an amazing host and teacher—it was my first time horseback riding but I felt so safe and at … More ease! The dinner was so delicious and cozy. The wool sweaters are exceptional quality and super warm. Thank you for a memory I will never forget! I will be back!

What a fantastic and wholesome experience with Mr Iceland! We went for an afternoon ride after learning about Icelandic horsemanship and history, and a good amount of time connecting with our horses. Included supply of helmet, cape and … More saddle was set up for you. The ride was good fun, through streams and at pace! We also stayed on site for the viking feast (on-site raised lamb and home made salad and potatoes) - so delicious. Accommodation was the best we experienced in Iceland. Cosy, comfortable and very well equipped. Coffee machine, kettle, linen, towels and soap. An all round excellent experience!
-
This was the perfect start to our Iceland adventure. We got a quick history about Icelandic horses followed by a demo ride. Hordur was great at assessing riding comfort and helpful with tips. After practicing in the ring we had a beautiful … More ride around the property followed by a fantastic roasted lamb dinner. We stayed one of the cabins, which are a great size and comfortable. We also saw the Northern lights over the farm. Definitely recommend adding this to the itinerary!

This is an experience you do not want to miss!! Of our entire trip to Iceland, this was our favorite adventure. Mr. Iceland is an extremely gracious host and teacher, he made even the most nervous riders feel comfortable and secure during … More our beginners’ lesson. My horse was spirited and energetic, and with his guidance I allowed myself to feel confident with my abilities and to connect with the horse. At the end of our ride we were met with one of the most delicious meals full of conversation, wine and laughs. My husband and I will never forget this day and the friends we made along the way!

Mr Iceland created a welcoming environment for riders of all capabilities and presented a marvelous long ride to the black sand beach and back. He was helpful and instructive in learning the proper seat for riding the tölt and an Icelandic … More horse in general. I very much appreciated that as a horse rider of long standing.
The horses are beautifully healthy and well mannered, cared for and respected. The work done on this farm is to be commended for their animal welfare and promotion of the Icelandic horse breed and its future. All the staff were helpful and fun to talk with.
The cabins were lovely and cozy and so good to spend a rainy day in. We cooked our meals in the kitchen with everything we needed: single cooktop, fridge, microwave, toaster, teakettle, coffeemaker, and dishwasher. The color scheme and amenities in the cabin were perfectly Icelandic and soothing. We walked around the property and visited the horses and took in the special views and exceptional air. A perfect three days in the rural south of Iceland. -
If you go to Iceland to have to go up the east coast and it would be a shame to miss out on Mr.Iceland and his beautiful farm and horses. The cabins are amazing. And the tours and dinner are a unforgettable experience. Even if you haven’t … More rode a horse before as long as your confident. He trains you in a hour how to ride these wonderful horses. It’s honestly amazing. And the food the same. Make sure to stop there before the black beaches and mountains.

What an amazing day!! I was a first time rider and Mr. Iceland and his staff really took the time preparing the group for a fun and safe ride. The Icelandic dinner and our cabins made the visit even more special. This was truly a dream … More day!! Thanks again!!

Our horseback riding adventure with Mr. Iceland was beyond amazing! His passion for the Icelandic landscape and his horses shines through in every detail. The horses were beautifully cared for and incredibly well-trained, making the ride … More both safe and thrilling.
What truly stood out was how Mr. Iceland emphasized the connection between horse and rider. His deep respect for these magnificent animals made the experience even more special.
The trails offered spectacular views, and staying overnight at his cozy cabins was the perfect way to end the day. The cabins were comfortable, charming, and added an extra layer of magic to the whole experience.
If you’re in Iceland, this is an absolute must-do! We couldn’t recommend Mr. Iceland and his horseback riding tours more highly - it certainly was one of the highlights of our trip and an experience we’ll never forget! -
This is my first experience riding an Icelandic horse. It was absolutely amazing. The Toelt gait is so smooth. Of course I was on a great horse. Mr. Iceland is a terrific leader in many ways with vast knowledge. It was also great to meet … More other wonderful people in our small group of seven. My wife and I stayed at the cabin overnight after a very satisfying lamb dinner with lamb leg from Mr. Iceland's farm. The cabin is better a five star hotel room.
-
Could not recommend this more for novice horse riders or seasoned horse enthusiasts! They take the time to show and explain to you everything about these horses and how to lead them. A quick training session in the barn and out for about … More an hour ride on historical trails. Adding to the animal fun is the giant schnauzer pup who tags along to swim on the stream and chase birds away. The icing on the cake is the dinner. Fabulous in its own right, but hearing the stories of Mr Iceland and his passion for regenerative farming and these horses is even better. You won’t find anything like it in Iceland! If we ever return to Iceland, you better believe we will be back here

Such an amazing, fun experience! Mr. Iceland was very knowledgeable. He had a wonderful respectful relationship and approach with the horses who were beautiful, healthy, friendly and very happy. We did the ride and Viking dinner which was … More beautifully prepared and delicious. We also stayed in the studio apartments on the property to ‘sleep with the horses’ which was very peaceful with horses in every direction. Such a special stay! We would definitely recommend to any horse lovers!
