J.R.R. Tolkien once said:
Gentle, talented and intuitive horses help you achieve your visions and a path to manifest them. Learn to whisper and communicate with the Icelandic horses in their own language.
Ride with connection, confidence and compassion as you adventure Iceland… let the magic begin!
Take the spirit of our farm home with you

What makes Icelandic horses unique?
Icelandic horses are known for their pure breed, unique tölt gait, and friendly nature. Their small but sturdy size, thick coats, and adaptability make them perfect for Iceland’s rugged landscapes. Riding one is a true Icelandic experience!
Should beginners ride Icelandic horses?
This is probably the most asked question we get from our guests and the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES! However, it is important that you go to the right farm with the right kind of horses that will fit your riding level.
In order for you to get a real experience you should have a riding lesson so you can control your horse. Many of the large operators have horses that have been taking the same circle for years and in our mind that is not a horse friendly and definitely not a authentic horse riding experience. You want a horse that is in good mental and physical health that is going to create a true relationship with the rider which takes the experience to another level.
During your riding lessons we make sure that rider and horse develop a connection that is real, and rider feels in control of the situation but at the same time the horse accepts the rider as its leader. This is often the most rewarding part of the entire tour and not only enjoying a magic scenery but experiencing the trust that rider and horse share.
