Summary
Description
Ride an Icelandic horse through the countryside of Skagafjordur in North Iceland on this short riding tour. No riding experience is needed.
The tour runs all year. In winter, nature is quiet, and all you can hear is the steps of your horse in the snow.
Icelandic horses are strong and sturdy. Over the centuries, exposure to the harsh Icelandic weather has made them very tough, and they were the reliable companions of the Vikings.
Your horse carries you along the Svarta River and over a track along a hillside to Reykjafoss Waterfall. In winter, the falls are surrounded by icicles. All the way, you are surrounded by the mountains of the fjord.
During the ride, your guide tells you about the characteristics and history of the Icelandic horse. On soft, grassy paths, you can also try the tolt, a smooth gait unique to the breed.
The tour suits first-time riders as well as experienced riders.
