This is such a wonderful experience of visiting and riding Icelandic horses. Beautiful friendly animals who are more gentle and curious than larger horses in Europe and North America. Our guide was an excellent host and we had an amazing afternoon playing in the snow in January with some truly extraordinary animals.

Great place for little ones to ride and learn about Icelandic horses

This was the highlight of our entire trip. We booked the 1 hour ride for our party of 5 (ages 10-76), but that day ended up being outrageously, frigidly windy. When we arrived, the staff talked with us about rearranging our booking (refunding us the difference) for an indoor experience, which we were grateful for. We ended up with an incredible experience! Our guide, Elsa, took us for a tour of the barn followed by a demonstration, then a lesson for us all, and we finished with hot chocolate in the cafe.

Our guide, Elsa, was fantastic! She, Lisa, and the third colleague could not have been more informative, helpful, patient, and kind! They made sure everyone felt comfortable on their horses. They were so personable and welcoming — it felt like we were acquaintances who were invited into their barn. Our group was small, 8 people (the 5 of us and another party of 3), and with 3 instructors we had a lot of personal attention.

And the horses are everything I heard them to be — social, agreeable, sweet, patient. The facilities were cleaner than any barn I have ever been to in the States. (I expected my clothes to have that “horsey” smell after our ride — which I kind of enjoy — but there was no odor at all!)

Overall, I would recommend this hands down! It was an amazing experience all around, and, with these horses, one you can’t get anywhere else in the world.

Sehr sauber und ordentlich (O-Ton meiner Freundin: da hab ich schon ganz anderes gesehen). Superfreundliches Personal, sehr gepflegte Pferde, man kann sich in Ruhe alles anschauen und bekommt hinterher noch Tee. 🙂 Ich persönlich saß das erste Mal auf einem Pferd, es hat aber trotzdem alles geklappt. Mein Pferd hat praktisch alles von alleine gemacht. 😀 Uns hat es hier sehr gefallen.

Wir haben den 1h Ausritt gebucht, da wir über keinerlei Reiterfahrung besitzen.
Der Stall ist sehr aufgeräumt und die Tiere sind zutraulich. Nach einer kurzen Instruktion konnten wir mit unserem Guide gleich los.
Die Tiere waren sehr folgsam und wir lernten einiges über die Gegend, etc.

Great place to visit!! You were able to sit on the bleachers and watch the horses being ridden and given a history of horses. For example... All the horses are pure breeds. If a horse leaves Iceland, it can never return. This is how they keep them pure bred & diseases at bay. There are approximately 100,000 horses in Iceland & approximately 300,000 population. You were allowed to walk through the stall area, pet the horses, and ask questions. Everyone was super nice & they served complimentary hot beverages & donuts. This was my favorite excursion in Iceland!!

If you are in Iceland, then this is a must! Something traditional, beautiful and worth the money. We got 1.5 hrs of riding and our guide took extra time to explain everything, got us geared up and in the end gave us some more time to try the special walk these icelandic horses do - beautiful animals and don't worry if you have no experience, because the horses are very calm and relaxed. You will love it!

We did the one hour beginners tour on a beautiful sunny day! Lady who took us around was so friendly and knowledgeable, giving us information on Icelandic horses and the area. Would definitely recommend, one of my favorite Icelandic memories.

非常感謝接待我們的那位小女孩，我們是初次騎馬，所以安排了半個小時在棚內學習，之後再到外面。
女孩在指導中是非常明確且細心，我們很開心的在那有個美好的回憶。

I’m a beginner and was given a great introduction to horseback riding. Beautiful Icelandic horses with a great instructor and a super clean organized and well run stable facility and school. We even got to do the Tölt gait. This is a smooth gate for Icelandic horses. The ranch was with beautiful scenery and we wrote along a pack of 25+ horses. Wow.

Super cool experience riding icelandic horsies, they're so cute and lovable. Our guides were knowledgeable and patient. The tour for a novice was great, can absolutely recommend the experience!
