I took my 12 year old daughter, and 15 year old niece to Iceland last summer. My daughter loves horses, and we planned our Iceland vacation to insure she had a lot of exposure to horses while there. Hands down this was the best experience ever. I booked a personal tour that the girls took with lovely guide Martina Ambrosanio and I can not begin to tell you how good she was with the girls, and how much fun they had together. I drove along thru out the area during the day, and met up with them to enjoy a dip at the secret lagoon, and also for lunch each day. The lunch they had for us was at Café and ceramic studio Bragginn was so fantastic. Some of the best food we had the entire time in Iceland. Locally sourced, smoked trout out of the river down the street, fresh bread, fresh butter, fresh soups, specialty drinks, and deserts that were amazing. I don't mean to get too far off track talking about the horseback riding, but we would have never known about this place if it had not been for the tour. The girls were in the saddle for the better part of the day, and had a great time riding by rivers, running across meadows, and climbing mountains. I also wanted to mention the owner, Arna Sigmundsdóttir. She was so sweet, and made certain we had an enjoyable time. She was very friendly, and a pleasure to be around, as was the entire group we met while at her farm, including the other tourists who were riding. Of all the many places my girls rode while in Iceland, this was their favorite. They liked it so much, they had to go back the third day before we left to say good bye one last time to Martina. They really developed a good friendship during the short time together. One other thing I wanted to stress was I felt very comfortable in leaving my girls in the capable hands of Martina while I was away. There is no way I could have been able to make a ride like they did each day, but I was able to let them experience a wonderful time by entrusting Martina to take good care of them each day. They really had a blast!

We had such a fun time while taking 2 hours ride. The horses were well behaved, staff looked after us and health & safety was their priority. It's perfect for beginners and I am sure they facilitate experienced horse riders also. It was only my second horse riding but I felt so confident, safe and was more than happy to experience a faster ride. Waterproof clothes are definitely recommended but it is provided in case you don't have any, Thank you looking after us!
