Black Sand Beach Horse Riding
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.
The small group allows close guidance and careful horse matching. Seals may occasionally be seen near the water, but wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. The route may be adjusted when wind, surf or visibility make another line safer for horses and riders.
