Amazing experience. The staff at the centre were welcoming & very helpful in getting us kitted out for the ride. They were careful to select horses suitable for each person's level of experience - in my case none since I was about 18. I forgot how old I was & had some doubt as to whether I could actually mount the horse - problem solved with a helpful push up. The ride was for around an hour along paths through lava fields - very picturesque. Guide made frequent checks to see that all was okay.
There's only one breed of horse in Iceland – and it has remained pure for more than a thousand years – the Icelandic horse. These friendly creatures and their specially trained guides will escort you on a tour through ancient riding paths.
Expect to experience stunning scenery full of rocky lava fields and wintery landscapes. This tour is ideal both for beginners and experienced riders as groups are organised by riding skill. It means that you'll get to enjoy your own individual experience and adventure.
This is a chance to try something different – Icelandic horses are small, almost pony-sized creatures with prominent manes and low tails. Despite their apparent slightness, they're capable of great acceleration and speed. A great chance to be at one with nature.
