Guided Trail Rides
We Provide Your Own Personalized Adventure
OPEN ALL YEAR ROUND.
Our life is horse tours. It’s been our passion, all our life. To go out in the nature and be a team with the horse. To see the beautiful places, and sometimes tough landscape, that molded our beloved Icelandic horse. To have the companionship of other horse lovers, and to just live and breath the fresh air in the nature, and feel the rhythm of life.
We offer guided horse tours with one of us, the local farmers at Langhus farm, or our assistant guides. We have well trained horses, steady and obedient, they are our family- and work-horses. They are our friends, they are happy, well taken care of, and live a fulfilled life. They are of the breed The Icelandic horse, the horses the Viking settlers brought to Iceland a thousand years ago. We take the time to match you with the right horse for you, and to give good instructions about riding so you can enjoy the tour better. We keep this on a personal level, so people can see the Icelandic nature, the background of the horses and what made them what they are (the sometimes harsh and sometimes wonderful nature, the breeding, the people and the culture), get a little lesson, get to know excellent horses and visit a true Icelandic family horse farm on the real countryside. Join us as we share what is unique about our horse and Iceland. We are open all year round.
We have several tour options to give ideas. But we love to hear about your background and preferences, it helps us choose a horse that is great for you personally. We emphasize on a personal experience and small groups. The small group size allows good levels of dialogue along the way. Just feel free to contact us and we make something wonderful together, and more important, have fun. Our niche is creating unique, intimate, authentic experiences, off the beaten path.

THE FAMILY TIME – GREAT OPTIONS FOR FAMILIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN
For people that want to have a fun experience with the Icelandic horse, even if they have children that are too young to go out on a long ride. The age limit for the two hour tours is 8 years, but you can still ride by taking the Family time tour (in the paddock). Everybody gets in close contact with the horses, the children help us with brushing the horses and saddling them up, we lead them on the horses in a paddock and teach them to control the horse, and the adults of course learn at the same time, and we chat and share experiences and info about the Icelandic horse and everything. The adults also get the chance to ride a bit if they want. Duration 1 hour, and the visit can be made into a 1 1/2 – 3 hour experience.
THE SHORT TOUR
Are you short on time, but want to squeeze in a fun experience and ride the famous Icelandic horse? We offer a tour that, designed to be an enjoyable experience for beginners that do not have much time. The whole experience begins with an intro on how to ride the Icelandic horse, then a lesson where you ride your horse and practice how to control the horse so you and the horse can be a good team for the ride. Then you go out on an approx. 1 hour ride at a slow and safe speed (the horse goes in the gait “walk”).
Duration of the whole experience (intro, lesson, ride) is ca. 1 1/2 hours.
FARM VISIT (for groups, with lunch).
Are you planning a trip in Iceland for a group? It is super popular to come on our farm visits, with a 2 course light lunch, and a super opportunity to meet the locals, take selfies with horses, hug horses, ride (indoors) if you like, and ask all the questions you have about Iceland. Bring your group to visit a working Icelandic family horse farm, where we live, have 95 horses, and they are totally our life. Great for people that are 1-101 years of age. The lounge and stables are wheelchair accessible.
