Landsmót is THE great event of the Icelandic horse. In 2018, it takes place in Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland. We still have a few places available on our riding tours in combination with Landsmót – either at the end of Riding, Nature, Experience or at the beginning of the Eyvindarstaðaheiði-Ride! Just in time for the finals, we offer you a three day stay in a guesthouse within comfortable walking distance of the Landsmót area. At Landsmót, you can see the very best of Icelandic breeding, riding and training, and, of course, visit all the festivities around the icelandic horse! 😊 You can find more information on our Landsmót page. We look forward to hearing from you!

It still looks a lot like a winterwonderland around here, but we are quite sure that spring will come around at some point 🙂 Our first riding tour of the year is as always Horses and Hot Pools around easter and we still have a few places available! We will of course go riding in our beautiful valley during this tour, but we will also enjoy a nice sightseeing program: we will certainly go for a swim in the swimming pool in Hvammstangi, we will take look at the seals on the unique Vatnsnes peninsula and we will drive to the picturesque Snæfellsnes national park. Therefore, the tour is not only great for riders, but also very popular among families and non-riders in general. Naturally, tasting icelandic delicacies is part of of the program – especially during our easter brunch!
We look forward to meeting you!

We spend New Years with a lovely group of guests and they had – according to themselves 🙂 – a great time here. The weather was nice, though it was truly freezing even by our standards, with dreamy pink skies, fresh snow and, just like we ordered, Northern Lights for New Years Eve! If you want to experience them yourselves, we still have places available on our Northern Lights Tours in February and March!
