Ride like a real viking

We would like for you to arrive at 13:00 at our farm Efri-Úlfsstaðir. I will meet you here and show you around the farm and then we hit the stables.

I will have a short presentation about the horse, its nature, energy and body language (language of horses). I make sure that you will get the horse that matches your riding abilities and your character. We will then go into our cozy riding hall and I will show you how you ride and communicate with your horse through energy and body language.

I will then assign you a horse. You, with my help will then get your horse ready but most importantly you will start to establish a relationship with your new friend.
When you and your horse are ready you will go into the riding hall and I will give you a lesson in how to ride and communicate with the horse. I will give you the feedback you need – no matter if you are a beginner or a world champion.

Once you feel comfortable with your horse then we go riding. There are many trails in our area but be sure you will experience some of the most breathtaking views Iceland has to offer. During the ride, I or your guide will tell you stories about the area and show you the old Viking trails that we have ridden since the settlement of Iceland, thousand years ago.

Once we are back, we take care of the horses and then go for dinner: locally roasted lamb, potatoes, and salad. During dinner, I will share stories about being a farmer in Iceland and our daily life on our beautiful Island.
