Why it's on Icebreaker
Eldhestar
Eldhestar works out of the farm Vellir, just outside Hveragerði, about 40 minutes from Reykjavík over the Hellisheiði pass. Grapevine writers have been sent here since 2004 and tend to come back sore and pleased. The routine: coveralls and a helmet, a horse picked for you by the guides, a few laps of the paddock, then out. The one-hour ride circles the meadows around the farm; the half-day tours add Reykjavík pick-up and 1.5 to 3 hours in the saddle, through lava fields or along the slopes of Reykjafjall above the town. Beginners and experienced riders go out together from age seven, nobody gallops, and the guides tölt whenever they can, which is when the bouncing stops and the horse seems to float. They are not ponies.
From the Icebreaker app, curated with The Reykjavík Grapevine.
