Why it's on Icebreaker
Icelandic HorseWorld
Icelandic HorseWorld is a horse farm at Skeiðvellir, near Hella, that also takes people who have no intention of riding. The 40-minute stable visit walks you through the barn, introduces the horses at nose level and explains the breed: on the island since the settlement, imports banned for a thousand years, and any horse that leaves can never come back. Children can brush one and try a short ride in the indoor hall. For everyone else, from age ten, there are one- and two-hour rides on soft, broad tracks, the longer one starting with instruction in the hall and built around the tölt, and a 4.5-hour ride across rivers, lava and meadow with Hekla in view and lunch in the grass by an old well.
From the Icebreaker app, curated with The Reykjavík Grapevine.
