Iceland Horse Riding Holidays

Introduction

Welcome to horse riding holidays set amongst the stunning countryside of Iceland. These tours mainly run during the summer months (June to September) exept for the few below which fall into the Winter season.

Extremely sure-foorted, keen and friendly, the horses are a joy to ride and very beautiful, with unusual colours and long, shaggy manes and thick coats. The come in a range of colours too - white, beige, gold, tan, dark brown and black.

The Icelandic horse are very small - although suggesting to an Icelander that they are ponies is not a good idea! In addition to the usual walk, trot and canter that most breeds have, these horses possess two unique gaits - the tolt and the pace, a faster version of the tolt for more experienced riders.

Sheep Round Up
Duration 5 nights • Departures Sep 2008 • Experienced ability • Prices from £864

With fertile land surrounding the farms at a premium, livestock were taken to graze up in the highlands leaving the lower pastures free for crops.

This tour offers the chance to participate in what has become one of the most celebrated events in the farming calendar. Read more >>
