More than a tour

A real Icelandic horse farm.

Skeiðvellir was built in 2007 and has some of Iceland’s best training facilities. The family breeds, trains and cares for around 130 horses across approximately 350 hectares.

Since 2013, Katrín Sigurðardóttir and Davíð Jónsson have welcomed visitors here, continuing a family life built around breeding, riding and caring for horses.

“We started Icelandic HorseWorld to share our love for the Icelandic horse with visitors to Iceland.”
