On the beaten track (2 hour)
Perfect for experienced riders seeking speed and advanced horses 

​From the spring 2024, we offer this brand-new tour! Find booking options below.

​This tour is for the experienced and adventurous rider. We test the horses in the riding hall, and then we ride out into the Icelandic landscape for a ride which focuses on experiencing the best of the Icelandic horse. We ride mostly flat and straight tracks, allowing us to tölt at different speeds as well as test the horses in galop. We have the mountains in front of us and can see wide fields through the ears of our horses.  

The ride is designed for riders, who wishes to ride plenty of tölt which is why the tour is only for experienced riders. If you like space, views, good riding roads and speed this is a tour for you. Depending on the group we will ride around 2 hours with a little break to stretch legs and rest the horses. Upon returning, you have a chance to look round the stable and we invite you for a hot drink and kleinur (Icelandic pastry) in our stable café.
