ITINERARY
We propose you to choose two "one week" itineraries in order to create "your" trail ride for two weeks, for an unforgettable experience. You can build your own combination of one week trail. See detailled program. EXTEND YOUR TRIP
Self-driving tour in the South of Iceland: To discover other types
of Icelandic landscapes and the amazing volcanic activity of the island,
we suggest a 8 days / 7 nights self-driving tour in farmstays (breakfast
and unlimited mileage included). HORSES AND REQUIRED RIDING LEVEL
The Icelandic horse is world-famous for his gait, the tölt, fast and
comfortable, that allows covering long distances without tiredness.
Moreover, during our rides, each rider has several horses that he rides in turn, the others following the ride in freedom. Limited tiredness for each horse, and pleasure to ride among a heard of fifty horses or so in freedom for the riders. These trail rides are the most difficult we propose in Iceland, it is necessary to have already experienced several times trail rides in quite tough environment and over more than 10 days. From 5 to 8h on horseback a day (30-50 km). The guide is responsible for your safety, therefore he can ask you not to ride if your riding level is not sufficient for this ride. For your safety, we recommend always to wear a riding helmet while on horseback. See our special information sheet on Icelandic
Rides. YOUR GUIDES

the Icelandic horses and the specificity of the ground supervises the

COUNTRY Iceland
LENGTH 16 days / 15 nights or 15 days / 14 nights depending on programs, 11 or
12 riding days.
LANGUAGE English.
GROUP SIZE From 10 to 20 riders. Given the fact that we always move with a substantial
herd of horses in freedom (on average 70 to 90 horses) in immense areas,
a more substantial group than in our other destinations is not a handicap
at all.

CLIMATE The rigour of the Icelandic climate, which has formed the immense spaces
that you cover, only allows the trail rides from June to September. However
this period is really ideal seeing that the sun shines during the best
part of the day.
