Horse Riding in Iceland by Equestrian Escapes

In Iceland there are almost as many horses as there are people! They love their Icelandic ponies - a small and hardy native pony that can carry adults has remained the only breed of horse in Iceland for centuries. They are especially known for their fifth gait - a tolt - this is a four beat gait which is like a running walk, it can be as fast as a canter and a very comfortable and smooth ride.

We offer four different riding tours in Iceland, combining Northern Lights, whale watching, hot springs and beach rides. We have a holiday suit all levels and ages of riders.
