Experience the essence of Icelandic heritage with our horse riding traditions, rooted in the settlement of Iceland in 874. There’s nothing quite like the real thing – riding the Icelandic horse, a breed that has journeyed alongside our people for over a millennium.
From the beginning, the Icelandic horse and its riders have thrived together, adapting to the raw and unpredictable elements of Iceland’s rugged landscape. This unique bond embodies resilience, harmony, and a deep connection to nature.
Both my horses and I are shaped by this extraordinary environment, carved out by the same forces that define Iceland itself.
We only offer top quality horses equipment and food
"Masterclass"
Efri-Úlfsstaðir Farm is a sanctuary where Icelanders and visitors from across the globe come to celebrate and connect with the iconic Icelandic horse. Renowned for its beauty and resilience, this remarkable breed has captivated hearts for centuries.
Surrounded by pristine landscapes, our farm provides the perfect setting for breathtaking riding tours, offering a secluded and tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the world.
At Efri-Úlfsstaðir, our mission is to help every guest form a deep, lasting bond with their horse – an experience that transcends the ride itself. To nurture this connection, we integrate yoga and mindfulness practices, creating a space to open hearts and minds to the profound harmony between humans and these earth-connected creatures.
Join us for a transformative journey that combines nature, culture, and a soulful connection to Icelandic horses.
Through a lifelong journey of training, exploration, and growth with horses, I’ve discovered a truth that transforms lives – when human and horse hearts entwine, magic happens.
I’ve witnessed countless moments of the human heart opening to the generous and loving spirit of the horse. Their kindness, generosity, and unconditional love create a connection that is deeply profound. When we learn to trust and truly listen to these incredible beings, they become our greatest teachers, leading us to an awe-inspiring bond that can spark a lifelong love affair.
At Mr Iceland, our mission is simple yet profound: to “create meaningful and joyful connections between horses and humans“. This passion stems from a lifetime of sharing deeply personal and transformative relationships with my own horses. They have guided me on a path of learning and teaching compassionate horsemanship, helping others experience the empowerment and unconditional love that horses naturally offer.
I see myself as a co-facilitator, assisting the true masters – the horses. They continue to teach me, and it is through their wisdom that I share this journey with others who seek to connect with horses in a profoundly meaningful way.

What they say about us
Words from ourdear guests
We are proud of the fact that our guests have voted us for being the best experience of all experiences in Iceland.
Hordur’s love for what he does shows. He took his time explaining and introducing us to his beautiful horses, and taught us how to understand and ride them. By far this was the highlight of my 8 days in Iceland, and I’ll always remember meeting the wonderful people in this experience.
Josh
Ride like a Icelander and eat like a Viking! This experience blew our minds – a must if you’re in Iceland. The horses were so calm and affectionate, felt extremely safe the whole time and the ride was very scenic. Hordur is a great guy and a fantastic cook. Loved it!
Stefanie
This was by far the best part of my experience in Iceland. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You must come to the farm and see this for yourself. You will never forget it.
Layla
From the moment we got there we felt welcome and at ease. He explained everything in detail and made sure we were comfortable with the horses before riding out. We got to see beautiful scenery, we sang and shared stories. After, we enjoyed an incredible meal in his beautiful home and it was just extremely wonderful.
Amanda
I have done a lot of traveling and a lot of excursions and adventures but this one truly tops them all. Hordur is the most gracious host I’ve ever encountered and he truly made this experience something special to me. The horses and his expertise along with his generosity are unmatched in any other experience I’ve ever had.
Beth Korkin
Wow… what a wonderfully, unique experience that I won’t soon forget! Mr Iceland and his “helpers” were so patient and accommodating to a fault!

An unforgettable and super fun and authentic trip with the Icelandic horses. I was lucky to experience riding in the snow in beautiful sunny weather.
