DID YOU KNOW- YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN A HORSE ROUND UP IN ICELAND END OF SEPTEMBER
The horse round-ups (Stóðréttir) are a tradition mostly exclusive to the North of Iceland and usually take place by the end of September, beginning of October.
Many horse-tour providers and farms offer special Stóðréttir-tours where guests can participate in the rounding-up of the horses in multi-day tours. Herding a huge flock of young stallions home from the mountains on a horse galloping through Icelandic nature might be the cowboy experience of a lifetime, that you are searching for!
The most famous horse roundup is the Laufskálarétt in the Hjaltadal Valley in Skagafjorð. Hundreds of horses are gathered and corralled over many days and then brought to the Laufskálarétt pen next to Hólar í Hjaltadal.
