Join us on this unique opportunity to meet and learn about the Icelandic horse in the beautiful surroundings of North Iceland. Our time together begins on the horse breeding and training farm of Gauksmýri in the famous breeding region called Húnaþing-vestra. The farm, complete with gourmet restaurant, commands beautiful views from its hillside location all the way to the highlands of Iceland. It is here that you will be introduced to the Icelandic horse and its many characteristics and traits. After a visit to the stables we will sit down for a wonderful Icelandic soup in the conservatory dining hall before heading onto the patio to see the horse parade around a display ring showing off their five famous gaits and various riding styles. And don’t worry if the weather is bad, the farm comes complete with an indoor display arena just in case!

We will then put your newly-gained horse knowledge into practice as we head once again to the horse stables, this time to saddle up and head out on a beautiful tour around this stunning piece of Iceland.
