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 have still some places left on our tours „autumn breeze, sheep and seals“ from 31.08.-11.09.2017 and „sheep and horse round up in Miðfjörður“ 05.09.-11.09. for riders.
And the round up is the highlight and the end of the riding season in Iceland. Hundred’s of horses, fillies, mares and unique in our region ,at the same time the farmers gathering also hundreds of sheep .This yearly event is a good way to get to know Icelanders and some of their traditions and the Icelandic horse shows his talents: Full of energy, strong and sure-footed is it an inalienable partner for this work!

And our last round up is on the wonderful peninsula Vatnsnes , nice riding paths and an adventurous tour over a mountain on Saturday morning where we drive the free horse down to the „rétt“ , it is a traditional old one with turf and grass on the top.
