About the horseback riding Golden Circle

The horse farm sits in Mosfellsbær, just outside Reykjavík and on the way toward the Golden Circle, and it is one of the longest-running horse riding operations in the area. Icelandic horses are smaller than most riding-tour horses elsewhere, sure-footed, and known for the tölt, a smooth extra gait unique to a handful of breeds.

The standard ride takes riders out into the countryside around the farm at a relaxed pace, and no previous riding experience is needed: guides match riders to horses and keep the group together. It is a good way to add something different to a day that also includes the Golden Circle, since the farm sits right on that route.

Riders should wear trousers and closed shoes with a small heel if possible, and dress for the weather since the ride is outdoors regardless of conditions. The minimum age is 7 and the maximum rider weight is 120 kg.
