One thing that makes us unique is that we take the time to give each rider a prep lesson in our large indoor arena before heading out on the trail ride. This is to ensure that you’re comfortable on your horse and prepared for your ride. 🤎🐴

Meet Glúmur frá Staðarhúsum, owned by Nökkvi! 🤎 Nökkvi has started him up himself and trained him. Maybe you will see them on the treks this summer? This morning, he was spotted in his favorite hangout, the wetlands, where our amazing barn manager Kirsti was making sure the herd got their hey. 🌾

Did you know we offer groups to come to our barn to meet the Icelandic horse in person? 🥰 Our qualified guides will tell you all about the horse, the history, where it comes from and what makes it so special. You will get to walk around the barn, take pictures, and ask our guides questions over a cup of coffee or tea. ☕️

It’s a great opportunity to meet the Icelandic horse and learn about what makes the breed so special!

We are beyond honored to be featured in Condé Nast Traveller’s recent article, “Remembering how to ride on Iceland’s breathtaking west coast.” 🐴🌋🌻

From tölting along the beach to traversing lava fields, this story beautifully encapsulates the magic of exploring Iceland on horseback.

Holiday shenanigans with Roðadís and Þrymur 😼🎅🏻

29/12/2024

Eventhough many horses are kept in big herds outside, all year around, some of our training and competition horses are stalled in the winter. Some are clipped and wrapped in blankets! Eventhough the winter can be harsh they still go outside many hours a day, most of them with a companion 🥰 A clipped horse does not sweat as much and dries much quicker. We usually do a bib clip (clipping the hair on the neck and chest) will keep the horse cooler when working but still with plenty of fuzz to keep them warm and regulate the heat themselves. Do you clip your horse?

Stop and take a moment to breathe, embrace the beauty of nature, and find peace in the gentle presence of horses. Sometimes, slowing down is the best way to truly appreciate life’s simple wonders. 🪻

Guðmar rides Sókrates when he talks about how to approach raising and lifting the neck and shoulder in tölt. He talks about what is required as a prior condition before you raise the neck, he shows and explains how to raise the horses front from the hind and what you should think about afterwards. 🐴 Full video is available on Patreon / link in bio.
