Horseback Riding in the Icelandic Meadows with Mountain Views
Icelandic Horseworld offers a unique experience with the Icelandic horse!
When joining a ride with us, you will ride in the beautiful landscape of southern Iceland, viewing mountains and meadows along the way. We specialize in rides for small groups which are seldom more than 6 riders.
Our horses are very dear to us and we'll make sure that you will be riding a well educated horse with a good tölt. We have horses for more experienced riders as well as some very trustworthy horses for beginners and even those who have never ridden before.
We are located 1 hour drive south of Reykjavik.
Age limit: 10 years

Description
Itinerary
If you have little experience and never tried an Icelandic horse before this ride will give you a great taste of what our horses have to offer. The only reason you might regret taking this tour is that it may lead you to want to ride more…
Upon arriving at the stable, your guide welcomes you and prepares you for the ride. Afterwards follows an introduction in the riding hall to the Icelandic horse and how to ride them. When everyone feels safe we ride out. We ride for an hour on good, soft and fairly broad tracks with views over volcanoes and glaciers, we may see the young horses playing in the fields and we will hear and see plenty of Icelandic birds. The tracks are easy for the horses which means you can concentrate on the view and enjoying the ride. You'll get a chance to experience the famous tölt and your guide will assist you with any riding matters as well as provide relevant information about the horses, the view or answer any question you might have. When returning you'll have a chance to enjoy a hot drink in the stable's cafeteria, warm up and talk about highlights from your ride.
