ENJOY THE ICELANDIC HORSE WITH YOUR FAMILY

This ride is ideal for families with younger children that can not participate in our trail rides due to young age and guests who would like to get a first-hand experience of the Icelandic horse without going for a long ride.

Come visit our stables and spend time with the horses in the paddock. Enjoy the moment interacting with them and taking pictures before taking a ride accompanied by our staff in our secluded paddocks.

Please note that the paddock ride is 3 rounds.

Our horses love children, and we promise a fun experience for the whole family!

  • Duration: 10-15 min – 3 rounds in the paddock
  • Riding Skills: Very easy
  • Depatures: Daily at 13:00
  • Note: Parents need to walk with small children.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING WITH ME ON THE TOUR?

We reccomend that you bring warm gloves and a thin hat that can fit under the riding helmet. Included in the price is that you can borrow a helmet, warm overall or rain coat and rain pants as well as rubber boots.

Maximum weight for a rider is 110kg/242lb.

Riding clothes. Riding gear (riding trousers, jackets, etc.) needs to be washed (40°C) or dry cleaned. Items which can not be washed or dry cleaned (riding boots, riding hats) need to be cleaned and disinfected at least five days prior to arriving in Iceland. The Icelandic Veterinary Authority recommends the broad-spectrum disinfectant Virkon S for disinfection. Used riding gloves, whips, saddles, bridles, chaps and other used leather gear may not be brought into the country.

Please understand that these precautions are necessary because there are no contagious animal diseases in Iceland. Horses are not vaccinated and are therefore susceptible to infectious agents from abroad. Please help us to protect Iceland’s fragile nature!
