Icelandic Horse Heritage Ride
Feel free to contact us
Description
Discover South Iceland from the saddle of the friendly Icelandic horse, riding through open countryside where volcanic earth, mountain views and fresh coastal air set the scene.
The smooth tölt, compact strength and calm character of this remarkable breed make the experience as distinctly Icelandic as the landscape itself. Clear organisation and expert guidance make it easy to relax into the experience and enjoy every memorable moment.
Beginners and experienced riders can join the same departure because horses are selected from the experience supplied during booking. Galloping is excluded for safety. Coffee and a home-baked treat finish the riding portion before the booked return transfer.
