The Grapevine's take
Íshestar
While we beg you not to stop your car in the middle of our highway to stare at Icelandic horses, there is no denying the majesty and cuteness of said horses. And they make for a great ride. Founded in 1982 by Einar Bollason, Íshestar have been at it ever since providing an array of riding options, from short kid-friendly meandering, to 3+ day excursions.
