About Mr. Iceland
Our farm Efri-Úlfsstaðir is a place that Icelanders and people from all over the world come to enjoy and celebrate the Icelandic horse. The farm's surroundings offer amazing opportunities for beautiful riding tours that are secluded from the rest of the world.
Our goal with each retreat is for our guests to establish a unique
bond
with their horse that will last a lifetime.
To help you establish that bond we practice yoga and mindfulness to open our
hearts
and minds for these most earth connected creatures Iceland has to offer.

Hello my friend and thank you for visiting our webside.
My passions in life are Icelandic horses, local food and yoga. I have been hosting Icelandic and foreign guests at my farm for many years and my philosophy is that all guests should establish a lifelong bond to the Icelandic horse and the harsh Icelandic nature.
To do this we practice mindfulness and yoga to get us ready to meet the horse on its terms and allow this great teacher to show us what true mindfulness and earth grounding is all about.
As you understand by now, the Black Beach riding retreat is not your average riding tour but an in-depth
journey
to the core of your mind and Iceland´s nature.
So be ready to learn, enjoy, experience and relax when you come for a visit.

Why Mr. Iceland?
When you come for a visit to my farm I guarantee that you will only get top quality horses and the best locally produced food.
I will make sure you will have the right horse and I before we go riding you will get a riding lesson to make sure you feel comfortable with your horse. After the riding we all gather around my kitchen table for a wonderful meal and lively conversations.
Look forward having you as my guests - welcome! Do not miss this opportunity when you are in Iceland to get to know real Icelandic horses on a real Icelandic horse breeding farm.
Our Experiences
Mr. Iceland combines nature, culture, and animal life to create the best experience for you. The Icelandic farm living is different from others, and we want you to know all about it.
We firmly believe in nature and everything it has for us. We create an adventure around nature with our beautiful friends, the Icelandic horses.
You will fall in love for them as soon as you meet them! Enjoy some yoga and meditation time if you like to, and we will end our day by sharing an extraordinary meal as a family. We love to know everyone and their life stories!
Here are some of our tours.
