star star star star star star star star star star
From January to December

Iceland produces a pure breed of strong and muscular horse which was first brought to the island by the Vikings more than a thousand years ago. The Icelandic horse is a small and gentle animal with great stamina, speed and intelligence. These horses make perfect riding companions for those wishing to take horse riding whilst in Iceland. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or an experienced rider as the Icelandic riding schools tend to cater for all levels of experience. If you want something truly different then riding then these magnificent and friendly animals is just the ticket. They love to cross grassy plains, rocky slopes even through rivers and lava fields. Horse riding hacks in Iceland are led by experienced guides and can last for several days. Hacks often go through areas that cannot be accessed by cars. Be sure to bring all weather gear as sometimes the weather may change without warning.
