Horse riding in North Iceland!

In the countryside, most people have horses, and a great many do even in the towns. Everywhere there are horse rentals offering riding trips, so trying out the small but very strong Icelandic horse is no problem at all. Everyone will enjoy it, regardless of the weather.

It is not surprising that these horses were called man's most necessary servant, considering the total lack of roads in former times. Leading through the untouched, charming nature of North Iceland, riding trails follow the coast, wind into the scenic mountains, or revive the use of age-old trails with varied history.
Experiencing an autumn roundup by the owners of free-ranging horses is no less of an adventure. Sitting on the corral fence and watching the action, you will see excitement, hear singing, and find happiness in every face. Many places in North Iceland have special exhibitions that introduce travellers to the Icelandic horse, and events related to riding and raising horses are always on the increase.
