Rundum ein wunderschöner Ausflug! Alle würden den Ausflug sofort wiederholen! Wir haben mit sechs Freundinnen (um die 60 Jahre alt, alle sportlich) die Tour gemacht. Nur zwei hatten Reiterfahrung. Es hat allen super gefallen. Vor allem die Betreuung durch die Guides und die zauberhaften Pferde. Niemand hatte den Eindruck, dass es den Pferden irgendwie schlecht geht. Die Ställe und das ganze Gestüt sehr gemütlich und gepflegt. Alkoholfreie Getränke (Kaffee, Kakao, Wasser) inklusive .So brave gepflegte Tiere, die den ca 1,5 stündigen Weg im Schritt gegangen sind, ohne dass wir viel tun mussten. Es gab eine Einführung und auch während der Tour waren die freundlichen Frauen jederzeit für uns da und haben sogar tolle Fotos und Videos mit unseren Handys gemacht.
Amazing!!!
the guides were happy and energetic, very helpful. the horses are lovely. a great activity!
Absolutely fantastic! Horses were amazing! So calm and gentle. Guides were brilliant! Informative and just fantastic. We went with our 2 children 9 & 12. Cannot wait to come back and visit again 💫💫💫💫💫

Great time the horse guides were helpful
Wow- what can I say?!?! My daughter and I are keen riders so a trip on the Icelandic horses was at the top of our list. We arrived at the beautiful stables and received a warm welcome and safety talk. There is a lovely cafe inside, and we were offered hot chocolate on our arrival. After watching the video we went through and got our hats and snow suits. These were comfy and warm and we did not feel the cold at all on our ride. Although an experienced rider - was very happy they had body protectors available for my daughter. After this we went through to the barn and were matched with a horse suitable for our experience. Its worth noting how well looked after they all were and genuinely happy all the horses seemed The ride was perfect- we went off as a group of 4 with the guide as more experienced and the scenery and information was fabulous. Once in a lifetime opportunity for all levels- would recommend to everyone!! Beautiful pictures to remember the day Thank you to all the st
