Country Ride – Icelandic Horse Tölt Experience
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.
Rather than chasing distance, the ride concentrates on finding the Icelandic horse’s smooth four-beat tölt at different comfortable speeds. Riding conditions, group ability and horse welfare always determine the exact route and pace.
This is best for riders who want more than a short stable introduction but prefer a focused countryside ride instead of an all-day trail.
